Well, He showed up and in a big way! The Friday before New Year's we received an email from our adoption agency concerning some talk about Ethi*pia closing all foreign adoptions. We honestly weren't too concerned from the way they worded everything but then by Saturday changed our mind. There was lots of news and talk about closing and we were very scared. We asked others urgently to pray and I think I was in constant communion with God on this matter. I felt like I was grieving and was so very worried that we wouldn't be able to bring our little one home. During this time I realized how guarded I was keeping my heart from fully loving our daughter. I had been so afraid of something bad happening that I kept up a wall. With the thought of really losing her I let down those walls and knew that I loved her with my whole heart. On Monday we received some very reassuring news that they were not going to close, at least anytime soon. I felt finally like I could breathe once again.
Then we went to our friend's house for a long New Year's celebration and had tons of fun. On the last day that we were there I received a voice mail from our CW from our agency. She was asking if we had received two emails that morning about the US Embassy requesting a birth family interview. I had been checking my email on my phone a lot during the time that we were gone but didn't receive anything. I called her back and found out that they probably went to my spam and sure enough they did. I had just called NBC again that morning in hopes to find out some information on our case and had gotten our officer's voice mail. I had called two times within the last two weeks and had been told both times that it was still pending so I was completely shocked to learn that our case had in fact been sent on. I am praying for things to move quickly and miraculously fast from now on. He provided this nice surprise for us when we thought we were so far behind so I know the Lord can continue to move mountains and provide a miracle!!!
