DONE! All paperwork, REALLY THIS TIME, is done! Until after the referral that is...then the real fun begins with paperwork! I completely understand it, but man is it a process. I made my final trip to UPS to mail some documents to immigration to switch our country of origin from Ethiopia to Uganda (that was actually FREE, can you believe it? I can't!...but if you decide you want to switch countries again, there's a $400 price tag attached;o)
Our revised homestudy arrived yesterday in the mail and it was what I needed to make that change complete. So now we are truly in the WAIT, WAIT, Wait some more stage. We stay so busy, I am sure the time will fly by. What is nervewracking for me is not the actual wait , but the unknown of when it will be, and all the details to follow...traveling, etc...you know, that's when that whole control issue comes in. And then I have to remind myself that I have ZERO control over that!
Spoke with one of my bestest friends of over 12 years this am, and she put into perspective that God wants us to live with joy, not anxious thoughts...it says it over and over in the Bible...to be joyous.
I love getting encouragement like that in the form of a quick conversation..because it does keep you thinking and reminded of what is commanded of us and what we should be focused on being made of. Thank you Tamara!
