Patience...

As I sit here, I feel blessed as I watch my gorgeous boy grab at his toes and make adorable cooing sounds. I am amazed at where God has brought and where we believe He is leading us! 


Earlier this week we finished and sent in our visa applications. That sentence sounds simple enough but for me it was weeks of working on paperwork during nap or after bedtime. I took a great huge sigh of relief as I mailed the almost one and half pounds of paperwork! We have confirmed that our package arrived at the LA New Zealand Consulate yesterday afternoon. So now we learn another difficult lesson... patience as we wait! They said on average it takes three weeks to hear back. 


With confidence we move forward as we begin to see our goal within arms reach. It is crazy to start to think of leaving my home with my little family. All that the move entails is sometimes overwhelming but that feeling of being overwhelmed is soon overtaken by pure excitement in anticipation for God will take our family! 


God is so good! We trust Him as our ultimate provider. We have some huge praises and some great prayer requests!
