Are you ready for more big news?

Of course you are - if you've been hanging around my blog for any length of time. 

In fact, seeing how my family has had such slow and/or no movement for months and months on end, and you folks STILL find yourself reading? You all should be given some sort of reward. Like maybe an exciting finish to this story? 

This will not disappoint!

Rhonda and I leave tomorrow afternoon for our big trip - and in light of last week's amazing news......I was SO hopeful that while in country, little miss's paperwork would be ready so I could hand carry it home with me, and the next phase of the process could begin. I thought that would have been the best case scenario.

Turns out it wasn't.........best case scenario was better than that :)

The paperwork I was hoping for? Showed up TODAY! 

Yes. 

Today!

I was gone most of the day at work, when I arrived home there was a sticky note on our front door letting me know that we had missed a Fed Ex delivery that needed to be signed for. Since we weren't expecting anything else, and we KNEW the paperwork would come via Fed Ex, I got on the phone to see if I could figure out just who shipped the package. They were able to tell me quickly - it was from Ethiopia. I about fell out of my chair!

Since I missed the delivery I had to wait a few more hours until it would be at the main pickup center, so once I gathered my other kiddos from school, shared the news (which evoked some shrieks!) we headed off to collect the most glorious package ever to be mailed. EVER.

I am in awe. In absolute awe at the sheer orchestration of events in the last few weeks. Seeing God's story for my family and this little gal unfolding the way it is. You see, not only did we get the paperwork quickly from when the last doc was miraculously obtained last week, these docs came the day before I am leaving the country. Which means that I am mailing it off right before I leave TOMORROW and it will start getting processed and we will start moving forward while I am in country lovin' on my little miss! Had I gotten the docs in Ethiopia? We wouldn't get things mailed off for 2 more weeks.

Wow. Just wow.

Happy kiddos

One excited mama!

So I find myself leaving the country tomorrow, absolutely rejoicing in a way I never would have imagined just 8 days ago. Incredible. God is so faithful. I will get to love on my sweet girl - knowing that it won't be too long until Jason & I can come and give her a loving family for good!

Please be praying for our health and safety as we travel, also that my little miss (who now is older and therefore more aware than last time) again warms up to me quickly. Also keep my family who are left behind in your prayers as well. That time would go fast for them and be packed full of fun of their own! (lots of grandma time :)
