WE GOT IT!!!

YEAH!!!! Our approval from Immigration came today!!!! We're DONE with paperwork!!!!!

Very funny story behind this....don't laugh at me - it's been a very emotional process - it's hard to have sooo many things out of your control (at least it is for me!!!).

Anyway - we had decided that once all our paperwork was finished we'd bring it with us to pray over it as a church family. Well I mentioned this to our pastor & he said let's PLAN it & invite all your friends & family to come as well! Of course we loved that idea & suggested the last Sunday of June - June 28th. I guessed we'd have all our paperwork back by then - and if not we could pray over what we did have. Well our church is sending a mission team to an orphanage in Guatemala and our pastor was going to be out of town on the 28th so we decided to do it a week earlier on June 21st - Father's Day! So as the time line started playing out & I started talking to other Washington families that had gotten their paperwork back from Immigration & how long that took, etc. I started realizing that it was HIGHLY probable that we'd have our paperwork done & ready to go a week or more before June 21st......so the dilema was - do we hang onto everything and pray over it on the 21st? or do we send it in when it's done & just pray over an empty box on the 21st? Well I'm sure you can guess which option I was pushing for - yet feeling a bit guilty that I wasn't trusting God on the perfect timeline......so needless to say - I'm crying like a baby at God's perfect provision - He knew I couldn't be trusted for more than 1 day with a box of completed papers!!! Talk about a God of details!!! He continually overwhelms me!!!

So tomorrow I'll post pictures from church!!!! and the awesome Celebration BBQ to follow!!!
