A Bit Better

With the arrival of February has come a new week. I am happy to say that tension may be down at Brenda's foster home. Her foster sister's tweets have returned to "her normal" and so have Brenda's messages to us. They are cheerful again, reflect her heart and personality and increased in number. For a while I was worried they were limiting her communication or even attempting to stop it and so it is nice to have some peace there!

We chatted this weekend on Frype and I reminded her to pray and she messaged me back she is praying every day. Yeah. Many smiles.

I also received a message that provide "some" hope from the lawyer in Latvia saying that it is good that Brenda wants to come and she "thinks everything will be ok". Not THAT solid a statement to hold onto but it is something none the less!

We are moving forward with various parts of the paperwork as we wait for Fed. 15th to arrive and see if the green light soon follows. Our biggest prayer request right now involves the FBI fingerprinting. When we did Marc's, our county did them electronically and they were back in THREE days! Now, there is some sort of issue with the process (not our fingerprints) and they may not do them electronically and it may take as long as 12 WEEKS now! UGHHHHHHHH. SO we are calling the woman who helped us last time and praying all over that one!

Thank you for your sweet sweet love and your sweet emails of encouragement that I am still getting. I appreciate you all so very much.

Prayer Requests-

1. FBI Fingerprints to be done electronically

2. Brenda's meeting with psychologist to be conclusive and the green light to follow

3. Peace and hope for Brenda as she waits and doesn't understand all this

4. Peace and comfort for her foster family

5. Peace and guidance for our family as we walk forward in faith

POST EDIT: 2:33 p.m.

We got the call from the one we needed to get our prints done in days versus weeks! I just returned from writing the check and we should be cleared by Thursday at the latest! After I told her she was an anwer to specific prayer on my blog... she said, "Go tell them God answers prayers!" Oh how I needed that from my Father today! HE rocks and is ever so present. I beam from seeing his face today!
