Today we got our I-171H Form! It came in only six days and I had been told it takes 3-4 weeks by several people. Our next step is to get it authenticated and sent to our agency so our dossier can be sent to Ethiopia.
Psalm 37:4 - Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.
The following quote on this verse from Joni Eareckson Tada spoke deeply to me during the time our adoption was on hold.
"How many of us see this verse as a template for finding God's will for our life? Yet that's what it is. SImply put, if you are operating in God's general will - that is, if you are living in the power of the Spirit and obeying by faith the commands of God already made plain in scripture - you can confidently move forward to pursue your deepest desires, for it is God who has put them in your heart. And once you are rolling God can grab the steering wheel with the strong arms of his will to direct you to exactly where he wants you to go. Finding the Lord's specific will for you may mean pushing down the narrow line until you hit a dead end, but at that point, God will open a door so wide that you won't be able to see around it - only go through it.
It truly does seems like God has thrown the doors wide open in so many aspects of our adoption since it was taken off hold.
