We still do not have a court date. I will admit it was not a fun week. It is hard seeing everyone else get court dates, while we hear nothing. Some things I have been thinking. I assumed my dossier was already in Ethiopia, but did it get lost? Did it get stolen? Does the government not like what we said? Yup, just plain silliness.
Then the Lord reminds me, "I, the Lord, am in control." And He is! I just wish my first thought would be, "God is in control." I never seem to get to that spot until after I throw a pity party. The Lord is teaching me some much needed lessons during this adoption journey.
I know we'll get a court date soon. I can say that at this moment, I am at peace. We will get to Addis Ababa. I will have my girls in my arms in God timing. Thank you Lord!

HUGS! You and I are kindred spirits right now....I actually asked my social worker if she thought our paperwork might have been lost or stolen!!!! :) God is in control!
well if i lived near you i would come to your pity party and bring chocolate ice cream!! it is hard and such a weird process that at times makes no sense whatsoever and so it is such a blind faith walk...i will gladly sit in the dark with u though and pray for/with you!!
praying for you guys....This long wait is no fun..let me tell ya...but we're so close now and the nerves get the best of ya again...praying they call with a super fast court date very soon, kj
I noticed that it was when I was thinking this way I heard something very quickly after. It's like you can sense the anticipation! I even blogged about it and looked back at the entries now..it's funny..then it was NOT!
You inspire me, my friend. What an incredible journey God has you on.
