Mr. Postman

Oh yes....it's a good post.....and a praise post!!!

So...for some time, I've been singing a little song as I go out to the mail each day.....do you remember Mr. Postman (by the Carpenters)?  (And, yes, the only reason I even know the song is because of the music my parents listened to in the car...so don't get any ideas about my age - he he!!).   :)

In case you can't remember....here is the first part of the song....

( Stop )
Oh yes, wait a minute
Mister Postman
( Wait )
Wait Mister Postman
Please Mister Postman look and see
( Oh yeah )
If there's a letter in your bag for me
( Please, Please, Mister Postman )
Why's it takin' such a long time
( Oh yeah )

And so....that's how I've felt.....just a waiting, waiting, waiting.

Well, today, our Postman may have earned himself a big fat bonus around Christmas time....because we received the letter we have been waiting for.  WHOO-HOO!!!!

The United States Immigration office gave us our approval for our I-600A!!!!!  For those not familiar, this is the form that says we are approved to adopt a child from another country...and the reason for all the paperwork I mentioned a couple of weeks ago...but the end result will be SO worth it.

So thank you for all of the prayers.....and praise to God that we are one step closer.  Now we are just waiting for news on our court case in Africa!  (Hint...hint....another opportunity for prayer!)

Of course, this good news also means that the husband gets to go in for his yellow fever and typhoid shots - I'm so bringing the camera so I can share the experience with all of you!

Blessings!
