Sandra's Day

Sandra is offically 16 now. Hard to believe this girl we meet some years back is very much a young lady. I so wish it could have been a BIG blow out. I think she has enjoyed it. We shopped and she picked out a new outfit. We went and tried to have her upper ear pierced but here it is VERY different than the States..Thank GOD no one was there to do it because they dont have small earrings for upper ears. They are like when you want to gauge your ears to LARGE holes. I plan on having her wait until we get to Florida and we will do that there. Then we went to Barrigas, a nice restaurant over by the American Embassy and had dinner. Then stopped and picked up a cake and some ice cream for later. She had a friend with her and all of us ate so much we are waiting on the cake.
THE ADOPTION..I recieved an e-mail today from DIF that they have the first resolution from the judge. YEAH, another step toward the end. Carlos had school all day. Did not even arrive home till 6pm. So he thinks he will be able to call in the morning and see what we are suppose to do. I will hopefully know what the next step on this side will be tomorrow. I didnt hear anything Stateside today. Maybe tomorrow. I know this is where it gets touchy because we cannot sign the final papers on this side until we hear from stateside. Please keep our papers in your prayers. This is not over yet.. I know everyone else has their own things going on. I was watching the news earlier about the 2 journalist that were just released from North Korea. I watched their reunion with their families and I SO wished it could be mine. But I am thankful that things are where they are suppose to be in the LORD's time. SOON..I am also thankful for the renewing of my heart for Juarez..I am finding more and more things that could be done here for theses people that touched me 9 years ago..Only GOD knows what and when..
May the LORD anwer me in the day of trouble. May the name of the GOD of Jacob protect me. May he send me help from the sanctuary and give me support from Zion. May he remember all my offerings and regard with favor my sacrifices. May he grant me my heart's desire and fulfill all my plans. May I shout for joy over my salvation, and in the name of our GOD set up my banners. May the LORD fulfill all my petitions. Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed. he will answer me from his holy heaven with the saving might of his right hand. Some trust in money and some in possesions, but I trust in the name of the LORD our GOD. They collapse and fall but I rise and stand upright. In the Name of Jesus I ask you these things...Amen.
To my dear dear husband..Soon I pray that we will have the reunion that I saw today. When we will be together again as a family complete and serving the LORD..I love you!
