Offically updated

Okay so now i've got the facebook thing going, really fun. It's so good to catch up with friends that i haven't seen in a long time. However i like that i can come to blog and just write. It would be so great if everyone would read it then i wouldn't be explaining things over and over but oh well. At least i know people are interested in my life!!!
Okay can i tell you how awful the waiting process of adoption is!#%? Arrggg is all i have to say. So we go and get fingerprinted in Portland, a 15 minute appointment that just couldn't be done in Bend, then we have to wait for then to finish our paperwork before we can send everything in. And to find out it may take up to 3 months, seriously because according to my timeline we would have already had our daughter by then! So i know there's a purpose and a season for everything but right now i'm just tired of my daughter not being with me. i know she exists, i can feel her, we talk about her but yet i can't be with her. What a crazy feeling, one that i know some mothers can feel with me but for those dads who read this (if any) it's a hard thing for them to feel. If i hadn't felt the Lord give me the timeline of January than i don't think it would be as frustrating but why would he give me January if it doesn't happen by then? Right now i've been telling everyone it'll take a miracle to get her by January and i totally believe that God can work it out, i'm just a little frustrated at the moment. So i will continue to have faith, i'm pretty sure that's the point and if God chooses a different timeline for us than it's His will and i will be okay with that. For any of my prophetic friends out there, let me know if God is telling you anything, please!!! Sometimes it's just really hard to hear for yourself with all your own emotions running through your head. So there you have it, we are waiting for our last piece of paper work. When we get it I will be making a trip over to Salem to have it authenticated and then our paperwork will go to the agency be okayed that everything is there and then go to Ethiopia. From there we will wait for our referral (just to let you know, we are praying that we are the family they have been waiting for, if you want to join in that prayer) we will receive our referral, contact a international doctor to go over the file (over the phone, she's in Portland) then send an acceptance packet and then get our travel date. See what i mean, when you look at all those things it just doesn't make since that we would be going in January to get her, BUT OUR GOD IS BIGGER!!!!! There you have it, that's what is left.
On a different note just to let you all know and have you pray, Andy is preaching this Sunday. He always does a great job, but he is usually nervous so if you think about it, send up a prayer for him!
Okay i'm officially updated for now.
Find joy in a little thing today.
