News and Things

I am happy to say that we have received a copy of our authenticated dossier in the mail today. I'm not sure if that means I am officially on the wait list for a referral or if that happens after my dossier is logged in in Vietnam. From what I understand from others on the forum, this usually takes about 4-6 weeks. So, by the end of April I should be "officially" on the wait list if I'm not already. I just really hope we have a referral before September when the MOU expires. But I also have to keep telling myself that God is in control of this and not me. Interestingly, tonight at church at the end of our praise and worship time, Jamie approached me to tell me that as he was praying God gave him the word "release" for me. He said he didn't know exactly what it meant but that was the word the Lord laid upon his heart to give to me. I'm not sure exactly what it means either but I will receive it and wait for the Lord to show me where this release will come from. It could be related to the adoption or finances or my single status or perhaps my job. I guess the Lord must really be trying to get my attention because on Sunday he gave our pastor's wife a word for me as well. I'm glad He's speaking because I have been really struggling with stress in my life lately. I can't imagine why but that's another story.

Tomorrow is the last day of school before spring break. HOORAY! It can't be here soon enough. This school year has been very stressful and not just on me. I think every staff member I have talked to has felt the same way. We definitely need some time of refreshing and recharging before facing the last two months.

Time to get to bed so I can get up on time tomorrow!
