It was the Day

Today was the day. Sonia,at DIF, sent the paper to Gladney who in turned faxed it over to uscis. Now, with in a couple of days Sandra's papers should be on the way to the National Visa center where a file will be set up. 1-2 weeks..Then that will be forwarded to the embassy here in Juarez where they will review it and issue her Preliminary Visa..1-2 weeks..So we are looking at 2 to 4 weeks..I can do it..Then we start winding up with the medical exam,hopefully during this waiting time..Finish the adoption with Mexico, get the new birth certificate, and hopefully head to Mexico City to get the passport 5 days or alittle more, back here to finish at the embassy and pack up and WE ARE FLORIDA bound. Hap will have to be here when things wind down and to Mexico City..So time frame 3 to 5 weeks more..I honestly couldnt say exact times.That is in GOD's hands..We are going to do what GOD puts before us..Acceptance with Joy..These emotions sometimes are hard to deal with..Just have to zone into time with the spirit. So we are all getting excited..Now we continue to pray and know that the light down the tunnel is getting brighter everyday..My Mom is doing good..God has truly amazed me on the journey..I have been stretched, melted, molded, etc..Someone said something about hang onto your faith..There is no effort involved with that statement. I have found my relationship with him stronger than ever in my life..He has shown me things here that I would have never seen in the States or in the comfort of my home. I am thankful and look forward to what the future holds for us all. I know that we still have some hoops to go thru..But I know that it will be as GOD plans it..and I pray to please him in the way that I handle whatever he sends my way..The work is not over. I will probably have more HUMAN days, but I believe this is when GOD can really do a work in us..It is how GOD made us. We started today to prepare Sandra for the new life in Florida. She is nervous but excited to begin. We told her that it would be different than what we have been doing here..Just consider this her summer vacation..Because life is going to begin. A new life filled with adventures and dreams..Thank you LORD for all that you have been doing with me here. Forgive my human weakness as they have surfaced. Thank you for your strength and peace during those times..Your righteousnes, O GOD reaches to the heavens. You are my rock and my refuge..You know my heart, continue you work in me...Thru the name of JESUS,,amen
