They have arrived!!!

I recieved notice today that Sandra's papers were electronically forwarded to the US embasssy in Juarez from US Citizen and immigration...What good news..We have taken a big step forward. Some people are already asking "When will you be home?" "How long till Mexico City". I could step out there and tell you that the paper timeline guides say this or that the adoptions agency says that but I am not going too. It took me awhile after arriving here to stop with the I am going to do this stuff or this is going to happen in this much time..Took alot of let downs before this stubborn person finally said..It will be when God lets it be..Scripture says...James 4:13 "Come now,you who say, "today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend some time there and do this and sell that. You do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? for you are a mist that apppears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, If the lord wills, we will live and do this or that. Also proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. I hope to live by this lesson learned for the rest of my life,,Lord willing..I can tell you that Sandra has a new life in her after the news..I can tell you that once the embassy makes contact with childrens services here they will contact us and give us the art.5 which is their ok to finish the adoption on the Mexico side..It should be almost finished anyway. Then we go to get the adoption decree and take it to the office of registry and get a new birth certificate..Then we are off to Mexico City to meet up with a guide and translator to drive us to do her passport.The Mexican passport is only for a week..THen she will have an american visa..Just the $$$..Then back here for a few more days to finish the medical and visa and pack and come HOME!!!!Hap will have to be here for the birth certificate and with us to get passport..I have a hope to be home by the end of Sept..A hope..Time will tell..I want to be so excited but another part says no..This is great news but there is more..No expectations..Just do each day the best we can..and know we are closer than yesterday. And THAT GOD IS IN CONTROL...
