i know that y'all care for us and for elsa, so i wanted to make sure you knew that our paperwork DID NOT get submitted today, like we had hoped.
it is still in translation (which has to happen before it can be turned back in to the embassy).
so now we wait and hope for next wednesday (it can only be turned in on wednesdays).
our hearts are hurting, but we are trusting God that his plan is grander.
please keep praying her home.
thank you friends.
Ugh. This makes my heart hurt for you. Praying very, very hard.
ReplyDeleteShoot. I'm so sorry to hear that. Here's hoping and praying for next week.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry... continually praying for you and those working on your behalf.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking the other day how when your baby girl gets older and looks at the waiting, hoping and praying that your family has done for her - and all the love that she will feel. I know that it cannot make it any easier, but what a testament that she will have forever.
praying this very minute. love to you!
ReplyDeleteFather God, be with Emily and her family today as they've experienced this disappointment. Let them feel Your peace. Please let sweet Elsa feel their longing for her to be home & their intense love for her. I pray that this next week will bring big steps towards bringing her home. I know you can do BIG things because You are a BIG God. Lord, please open the doors in miraculous ways for Elsa to be in her forever home soon. Thank you Lord for Your love and protection of this family as they follow Your calling. In Jesus' name I pray these things, Amen.
ReplyDeletePraying now Emily!
ReplyDeletePraying that sweet Elsa is home wher she belongs soon!!
ReplyDeleteI will continue to pray...so sorry to hear that you are still waiting :(
ReplyDeletethis is my first comment on your blog. i've been reading for a few weeks now. I am certainly praying for you and sweet elsa. my best friend is trying to bring a precious little boy home from ethiopia and they are having set backs too. You are right, God's plan is grander and His timing is too. If you get a minute, listen to the song Fail Us Not by 1000 Generations and CLAIM it! Praying for you!

ReplyDeleteEmily, this is my first week discovering your blog and I am already smitten with the love that you have for your little ones. I am a new mother myself and can't imagine how much your heart must be aching. Please know that I have been praying for sweet Elsa every night and will keep doing so until we know she is safe in your arms.
