We were really hoping to see our Travel Approval this week from China.....it didn't come. Our agency also expected it would come but told us we are still very much in the time range of "normal" even with it coming this next week. I was hoping not to be "normal"!
Today was a hard day realizing that Ellie is turning 7 months old on Sunday and we still are in total limbo of knowing when we will be able to hold her in our arms. Once again, I had to give myself a pep talk and realize that God is in control. My cousin and dear friend, Bev, sent me a quote today that helped put things back in the right perspective: "Anxiety...thinking that we have God's job description...but realizing that we don't have God's power." Nothing is accomplished by worrying over our Travel Approval. God will allow it to come in His perfect time, not ours. In the meantime, He will hold Ellie in His arms in our absence.
Our prayer right now is for Ellie's health and security....that she will feel love and comfort from her caregivers. We also are praying for travel plans to be established this week and come together quickly.
