ACFW…It’s taking a while to process!

My mind is so full of everything I want to share that I thought I’d share a few things at a time … there is so much!

First of all, my most meaningful moment was not centered on writing, but on our adoption. We’ve been doing paperwork to adopt for China for 1 1/2 years. It’s been slowed down by crazy things like a lost homestudy (the immigration office moved mid-paperwork) and unsatisfactory fingerprints. On Thursday Susan Downs, who has been praying for me, found me and told me she was continuing to pray. It was awesome to know that there was someone there who knew my heart and continued to pray for me.

Then, Saturday after the banquet, and fun time with my friends, I discovered my husband had been trying to reach me. He’d called 5-6 times. I called him and he excitedly told me our paperwork was in! It had been mailed that day Susan was praying!!!

We are approved for one or TWO (if there are twins) babies from China. It was awesome because I was able to go around (at midnight!) and tell my wonderful agent Janet Grant and some of my friends.

It was a special, and unexpected, gift–both the paperwork and that God chose THERE to let me hear the news and share it face-to-face with those who have been praying!

The process is still 2 more years, but I know God’s timing is perfect!
