WE RECEIVED UPDATED PICTURES!!!!

These pictures were taken on today!! She is 18 mths old (as of Tuesday!) No measurements yet, but might get them later! I can't tell you how grateful I am that the Healing Home took all these pictures and how they did them. My day was horrible yesterday, I just needed to see her face and God sent me MANY of her face! How amazing is HE??? Thank you God! You are, and always have been, amazing!!! OH and we should have our I800 approval by the first of next week! It's moving along now!!!! WOOHOO!! She is also wearing one of the outfits we sent her, her shoes, and the picture is her pillowcase we sent her! So, 2 months after mailing it, she finally gets to see her family!!! I love these pictures!!!! AHHHH!!!

The wait is killing me!

I am NOT a patient person and this wait is killing me. I don't know why bc we still have alot of money to come up with, but I know that God told us to do this adoption, so I know HE will help us!
It's day 13 since LOA. The USCIS says it takes 12-15 days for approval, so we are praying that approval is right around the corner. I haven't gotten any new pictures of Zoey in a long time and I'm just really wanting to hurry this up and get to her and get home! She's been over there LONG ENOUGH!!!
We are supposed to be getting an update sometime soon and they are supposed to be letting us know if they have given Zoey her carepackage that was mailed on my birthday (JUNE  8th) and I just pray they did!
I am just very discouraged right now. I Know I shouldn't be and it's all God's timing, but it's hard as a momma to sit here and not be with my child. I know that I have never met her, but she's my daughter and I want her home! I want to be able to hug her, kiss her, give her a bath, get her dressed, put bows in her hair, teach her things, watch her play with her sister and her brothers, see how Anthony is going to do with TWO girls and all that important stuff! I know my time will come and I am at peace with it, although it doesn't sound like it, but I am. I am just praying for alot of things to happen right now and it's not on my schedule and that's frustrating! BUT..I know WHO holds tomorrow and I know WHO holds this whole process in HIS hands...so, I will wait!
PLEASE God...You know me! We need to make sure we have all this money, we need to make sure we have the situation with the boys school done! We need to get all this paperwork to go through fast and we need to get to our little girl! I am trusting YOU because I know YOU had this planned from the beginning of the world. But God, I am also asking for guidance, security, speed and comfort that only YOU can give me! You are an amazing God and I know that You have this under control! Just take over my spirit, Lord! I love YOU!! AMEN!
