More Forms to fill out, but still no Documents

On Friday, I received a very brief email with 2 new forms attached. We need to sign and send back the forms asap. One of them is related to confidentiality. There is a good chance I will have to remove my pictures and any mention of Little Man by name or country. I immediately sent an email asking if that will be necessary. So far, I haven't gotten a reply. I should probably just do it because I don't want to offend anyone in his country or cause trouble. I almost called today, but didn't for two reasons. First, I don't WANT to have to do that! I love knowing that people see his sweet face, and it helps them remember to pray for him. The second reason is not very nice at all, so I won't share it. Please pray for me. I have a very bad attitude that needs changing. Right now, I am not feeling at all repentant, even though I know it is wrong.

So, take a good, long look at Little Man's pictures because it may be your last chance until he is officially a Crawford. Please pray that the documents come NOW!

On a better note... Sunday, I was grumbling about the wait, and worrying about having to re-do our fingerprints and filing for an extension on our I-800A, and right in the middle of my tirade, I just KNEW that it didn't matter. I don't need to worry. However long it takes, whatever it takes, everything will work out. How can I worry about money, when I have been shown before that it WILL be provided. We can all see how God's timing is perfect-at least, after the fact, or in someone else's life.:) So underneath, I still have assurance. I wish I could say that makes waiting easier, but it doesn't. I wish I could be a better Christian, but I'm not. I could write things that sound wonderful and full of faith, but it would be a lie. The real me is not a pretty sight. My wish was to use this blog to glorify God, to tell of His deeds, to show how He is Sovereign. I hope you can see His glory shining through in spite of my grumbling and complaining. He has been, is, and will be FAITHFUL.

You just need to make your blog private. When all this Hague started, that is what I did. Barb told me too. I also had a tracker on there and knew that people in Estonia were reading my blog. That made me a little nervous. With my big mouth I was afraid I would put my foot in it. I had a few people from Estonia comment. One guy told me he had an internet tracking thing that emailed him any time anything was posted on Estonia and that is how he found my blog. Weird huh? P.S. Barb is tired of me asking where Andres papers are lol.
