Paper work missing?

Yes...that is the question. The latest news is that Yoseph does not have all of his paper work from the orphange that found him. He was abandoned and I will learn his whole story once I pass court. Meanwhile, we are waiting on the orphange to get his paper work sent to the transition house so that I can get a court date.

Seems like it is just another obstacle in the path to my son. Why this now? Oh the questions that run through my mind. The one thing I know is that God is a God of order and this is a part of His plan for Yoseph and I. Being able to rest in that thought is the job at hand.

Being a Christian educator allows me to be constantly thinking about God and how I can integrate Him into my daily work. Sometimes I can leave that thought pattern at work and not carry it on into my own life. It is so good to be reminded how much I need Him in my life.

The way I see it is this...There is something that I need to be working on over here before Yoseph comes my way and there is something over there in Ethiopia that he needs to receive in order to be the sweet young man that he will grow up to be. In the mean time God give me the patience to walk in this knowledge and accept it.

God is good!

Hi Gina, I have been following your blog too!! ;) Praying for all of us that seem to be a bit "stuck" in our process. I continue to remind myself that the Joy of the Lord is my Strength!! Praying for you. If there is anything we can do once we are in Ethiopia next year let me know. We are going to be living there for the spring semester of school.
