4 More Days

4 more days till THE CALL..I am excited just that the Lady said I could call in 2 weeks..Even tho I would be VERY surprised if it is there and would probably scream something that would sound crazy to the normal world..But I do not fear looking alittle crazy...Today has been another good day..Sandra off to school..Came home to some other adoption news from a family struggle to know whether to keep going or stop..There are never any words to say in this situation..I am glad I am not in their shoes..and sad that they are..The boy ran from them last year and has been begging to come back..But there is so much paperwork they have to do because the laws have changed since they begin..and other issues that only they themselves can answer..They are in my prayers...Qwen called and need some help with some of her work so she came over and we worked until I went after Sandra and Qwen stayed and we finished when we returned..Then when she left she had some more envelopes to be stamped and sending labels and return labels put on..I finished that..Mark, with IFM,and the man of the wonderful couple that has let us use their van all this time stopped in for a visit..Nice just to sit and visit with such good people..with a heart of ministry here in Mexico..Once he left I have started supper..Noe,Qwens son, comes on Thursdays to eat supper with us..After that we have soccer practice tonight..A FULL wonderful day..There are 2 different adoptive families coming in this weekend so I expect it to be a mentally draining weekend with questions and concerns to be talked about..But if I can help them with what we have been through I will...Because I understand as only those of us who have lived this can understand..We should have some sort of support group for families adopting from Juarez...Sandra has an exam tomorrow..She has been studying on the computer for it..This Quick Learning school is very good and informative..They talked to me today about one on one teaching but it was pretty pricey..plus she will have a good system when we get to Florida...I tried to call the Embassy today about Sandra's shots..to no avail. So I plan on trying first thing in the morning about 7:30 when Mrs.Perez gets to work and see if we can be doing that ahead of time...Then we still have the visa photos to do before Monday too...I can feel the end..and it feels GREAT..Even tho I was talking to Qwen today and realize the pain I am going to feel when it is time to leave for a couple of things that I will be leaving behind here...I guess that is just a taste of what Sandra is going to feel...I think it is about time for me to start to focus on ways to help her with this change that is a coming...Please remember us in your prayers....
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning..(and remembering that a day to GOD can be a very long time)Placing a HUMAN timeline on GOD's time
I am overcome with joy because of GOD's unfailing love, for he has seen my troubles, and he cares about the anguish of my soul...
Please add a family attempting to adopt to your prayers..They can not seem to realize that this is not a human timeline that you can give to kids that have been through what our kids have been through..That we have to give them HOPE..Not words that do not build up..But that cause more harm..Not negative human words but a GOD filled hope that it will happen and that we as adults and their new parents can handle..I love these people dearly..
