Staying Strong

Do you ever have one of those days when you feel like asking, what is going to happen next? - Today is that for me. As I started cleaning house this morning, I was just thinking, what next. It has been almost 2 months and we are still working on getting officially accepted with the agency we want to use. They finally got the cancer letter, and think that it shouldn't be a problem. Found out last night that they are going to send our information and the letter to their contacts in Ethiopia to find out if the history of cancer is going to be a problem on their end or not. We obviously are praying not! Also, AGCI is wanting a more detailed financial statement from us. They want to know how with our financial situation, we plan to pay for an adoption. The finances don't worry me at all. We know God has led us down this path, we know He will provide for all our needs. It's just that on paper, it doesn't look like things should work out. It's fine, and doesn't bother me really, but it's just frustrating. We just want to move on to the next step, and it seems like there's 'just one more thing' that keeps popping up. Sorry to use this post to just vent, but, if this is to be a true log of our adoption journey, it is going to have to include the bumps in the road as well. Your prayers would be appreciated - that everything get passed and go smoothly and that we get 'officially' accepted with AGCI.
