DOSSIER IS IN EL SALVADOR!!!!!!

Today we have good news from both our Agency and our Home Study agency.  Our dossier has been sent overnight to Ricardo in El Salvador.  He will take it and get it translated so it can be submitted to OPA (like our DHR).  This office will review our case and give us approval to be an adoptive family.  Then Ricardo will begin the search for our daughter.  Our corrections in the home study are also complete and it has be forwarded to our DHR.  They will then forwarded it to the US immigration office for our immigration approval.  So now what? WE WAIT!!!  This is the part of the process where we can do nothing but sit at HIS feet and pray. The process of paperwork in a central american country is usually at a snails pace.  Our pray is that our case would be at the appropriate office and on the exact desk that God desires.  I am even praying for the individual who approves us, that the Lord will use something in our paperwork to minister to that person.  For Ricardo, I am praying God will lead him to the little girl God desires to be in our family.  This part is actually easy because we have NO CONTROL over it.  We will cling to HIS robe and wait expectantly for HIS gift of life for our family.  Please join us in prayer for these individuals mentioned and for God's hand  to continue to pour out provisions for this adoption.  Please join us as we exalt the Lord by praying:
"My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my soul. I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples. For great is your love, higher than the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, and let your glory be over all the earth." Psalm 108:1, 3-5.
Hidden in HIM

"Who makes things happen? Who controls human events? I do? I am the Lord. I was there at the beginning and I will be there at the end. Ps. 41:4

"Look at the evening sky! Who created the stars? Who gave them each a name? Who leads them like an army? The Lord is powerful that NONE of the stars are ever missing."Ps. 40:26

He keeps up with every star...just thinking how neat it is to keep that perspective as you wait and allow him to orchestrate this adoption. Love ya'll, amy
