Ok, I realize that I have not kept up with this blog like I should. I told myself I was going to post everyday to it, yeah, that didn’t turn out.
Then I told myself I would post every other day to it, we see how that’s gone.
Now I’m finding that if I post something weekly, I’m doing good!! 😉
I think it’s just the waiting around for the paperwork to be processed and approved. It wears on you!!
I’m also waiting for an update on Peanut, but I still haven’t gotten one of those either!!
1 Samuel 30:6 says “but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.”
He found he could place very little confidence in his men; and, as he was conscious that this evil had not happened either through his neglect or folly, he saw he might the more confidently expect succor from his Maker. ~ Clarke’s Commentary on the Bible
So I must use this as my prayer today.
But if you get a chance, pray for me! Pray for this LOA process. There is no rhyme or reason as to why the wait is what it is. We could wait as little as 60 days, but upward of 150 days!! After you receive LOA, then you are about 3 months to travel. So if we got LOA tomorrow, that would put us leaving for China by the end of May! Perfect! Kids are out of school!! 🙂
Day 48 of our wait for LOA……………………………………….

Oh I am right there praying with you. When I first got Talia’s file I thought I would have been back home by Feb.! So much for that plan! Then I thought surely no later then her 3rd birthday on May 1st but it looks like we will miss that. So sad.

It’s completely disheartening! I mean, we cannot do a thing about it but sit and wait! I really hate this part of the process. I guess if I had an update, that would help me greatly!! 🙁

oh Heidi,,I know so well of the waiting..Three years for our Lily-bug and just so hard and many days going to bed with a “empty bucket”. I do know that our Lord is waiting with you and little Peanut. He has His hands wrapped around her and just waiting for that perfect moment of your LOA to come thru. Yes, its seems like you just wait and wait..and we do!! LOL Just know that we wait with you, pray with you and love you so much…Gods timing is perfect but you already know that…my sweet friend.
Love you bunches, Liz
