The Paper and Prayers

Thank you for your prayers and encouraging words this week. I do not know if anyone will "come back" to the blog that visited it during Linny's Crazy Love Prayer day, but if you do, welcome back!
We are still waiting for the paper that we need for HG's adoption. We received word on Thursday afternoon that there would be a meeting on Friday (yesterday) morning to review the decision. Late yesterday/Friday afternoon, I emailed my contact, asking him if there was an update. He said that they were going to need to meet again on Monday and that he would keep me posted. Please continue to pray for this group of people making the decision on HG's visa. It will be a long weekend, but I hope and pray that we have POSITIVE result when this is all done.
A funny thing about fasting: I did fast on Wednesday during the day, praying more than normal. When I would feel a bit of hunger, I would pray. God would take care of my hunger and I would continue on my day. I did eat dinner with my family and I told them of my day of fasting and prayer. I explained fasting to HM and HV and why I did that. Fast forward to yesterday/Friday. We were at the pediatrician's officefor "sick visits" for both girls. The pediatrician said that we should do a blood screen on HV and that she would need to fast. Her eyes got as big as saucers and she shook her head. She thought she would need to fast all day like I did! I laughed and explained to the dr. that I had fasted and prayed this week and so HV thought she would have to do it all. She got a laugh about that too. No, HV. You only have to fast 8:30 p.m. until 8:30 a.m. the next morning. No biggie! That silly girl.
