We Interrupt this Previously Scheduled Rant....

...to bring you a VISA!!!!!!

V-I-S-A!!!!!!!!!!!!

The news made me fall into a big ugly crying heap on the floor. Suddenly every rotten moment, every prayer cried out, every fear, every hurt and disappointment didn't matter because I heard those sweet words..."Go get your baby".

The next few days will be an absolute whirlwind. I am going to try leaving on Friday provided we can miraculously pull the money together for the tickets. The number is a bit overwhelming, but I have to believe that after all this it will come together.

I am delighted to say, finally,
Mercy is coming
HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy for you! So excited for the wonderful news.

And if I'm reading this right, you are traveling on Easter weekend, right? How fitting. I mean, wow. How perfect is that? Perfect relationship with our Father granted by the sacrificial death and resurrection of His Son, honored world-wide on the same weekend you are going to bring home a daughter to create and form a new relationship and a new home. Where you can in turn, then introduce her to her Heavenly Father.

I'm thinking that's NOT a coincidence. . . .

YAY! Go get your girl.

Amy said...

i know exactly how you feel. time doesn't seem to be a factor to God...he takes as long as it takes. you will understand in a while just why it took so long- it's all about what we need to learn, not about the event itself. (our adoption took 2 1/2 years, and about killed me. until i surrendered to the time line i could not control. )
