Praying with/for us......

This is an exerpt from a post to our chat group:

Isn't it amazing how when you set your heart to rest in God, knowing that He'll work out all the details, every fiber of your being gets tested?

Here's my request:
Health- I fell on the ice and went down the concrete steps by the side of our house Sat am. (They do say that more accidents happen within 1 mile of the home, don't they? )Nothing broken, but sore and bruised- makes that 24 hours of travel sound a bit more daunting.

Paperwork. Does it never end? How much is enough? How many details do they need to know about us to know we'll be good parents? Can you hear my frustration? Thanks for letting me vent!!

Our deed only shows the outline of the land. So, even though we have a homestudy talking about our house, we have pictures of our house in our photo album, etc, etc, etc- we now have to have proof that we own our house and that house exhists. Since Tim built it, this is a bit more difficult that one might at first imagine. Our taxes are accrued with our mortgage, and the mortgage company takes care of that. So, how to get the copy of our last tax statement? A copy of the deed transferring the property to Tim from his parents 10 years ago? Hhmmm..... shouldn't be a problem- I'll just call the recorder's office and see if they can get me a copy of that.

Only today is yet another holiday. Don't let them tell you Russians have a lot of holidays!! We Americans must be leading the way!!

Yet, strangely, in the midst of all this I do feel peaceful. I'm just praying that you all will join in with me in covering these details so we can leave in 1 week with all we need for our trip and be gone for 30 days to bring home our son and start the next chapter of our lives.

A lot of words- sorry-sum up:

Speedy recovery from stiffness and soreness from my impromptu slide down the steps
God's speed in gathering these documents now being required of us before we leave next week

Thank you all. So glad to know we are there with each other, helping to carry burdens to God- can't wait to share all my joys with you!!

Stay tuned-Coming soon to a blog near you....... More than word, more than his hand, it's Eli-man- in person :) Soon I can show the world (or at least our limited viewing audience) his precious face.

Thank you for praying with us!
