So, obviously we did not receive Isaac's passport today. We did receive contact from the US Embassy that they were expecting us and wanted to check on the passport. Unfortunately, Chad sat in a person's office all day waiting for the passport paper to be signed the last time required before printing Isaac's passport. Well, he didn't sign the paper today, so maybe tomorrow we will get it signed. The US Embassy only works until about noon on Fridays, so I'm thinking we won't get to complete our interview and paperwork there until the beginning of next week. This means that we will not be arriving back in the USA until next week! :(
Right now we are in need of prayer for patience! Chad and I are trying our best to keep it together and not take out our stress on one another, but this is easier said than done! We all know how I like to jump right in and get things done....I'm not the best at sitting around and waiting, waiting, waiting, and waiting some more! God is certainly teaching us to rely fully on Him and not on our time and schedules. But, then again, like I am a planner or a list maker anyway!?!? I most definitley did not and do not have a calendar drawn on the back of an envelope with expected dates and an agenda or a list of things still needed to be completed on the opposite side with check marks and intended dates! :) So, my memory verse for quite a while is and will be~ "Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." Phillipians 4:6
Blessings,
Hang in there you two. God has a plan. We're praying he reveals it to you SOON though.

Anna, Just found your blog. This is such a wonderful thing you and Chad are doing. Saw Isaac's picture, he's adorable! What a smile! Hang in there. Max must be so excited to have another boy in the family. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Betty
