Mountains. More mountains. Gray, granite mountains. I received an email from Adopolis today and I am depressed. Colombia is requesting more info on the "characteristics of our personalities". Can you believe it??????????????????????????? I seriously am in shock. You should see the pages of documents from our psychologist and social worker all stating that we are good people. Sound and healthy in mind, body, and spirit. I'm not trying to toot our horn either. We are normal Christian people. I really feel like exploding right now. This is almost tooo much. What is God trying to tell us? I know everyone says don't think that right away, this is just life. But WHAT the world??? Are we not supposed to adopt from Colombia? It felt so right. I am ready to throw it all away and live an easy, mundane life with 2 sweet children. It has been 15 months since we sent our dossier to Colombia and we are still not approved?! That timeframe is how long it should take to get a child, not how long it should take to get APPROVED to get one. Please bear with me, friends, I'm mad and THIS IS HARD. Are we out to lunch or what?
The song on my heart:
Teardrops are falling and troubles are dragging me down.....
....Jesus is telling me I should just give it to Him.
Dreams are all shattered and hope is forsaking my soul,
Things that once mattered are moving beyond my control...
....I have no comfort unless I just give it to Him.
-I'll Give It To Him by Trevor Toews
How? You all can pray for us these days... (this is as tiring as a 24 hr. labor, which, in fact, was going on exactly 3 yrs ago today.) Happy Birthday, O!
