No word on pre-approval. Today is 45 days and counting. I have to constantly give this back to the Lord lately, or I feel pretty defeated. Isabella is growing up without me...in an orphanage. Our Senator's office sent a third inquiry (one each month) to the US Embassy in Guatemala. The Embassy will not respond.
This. Is. So. Hard!
Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
Psalm 20:7-8
Lord, give me strength, peace and joy in the wait that can only come from you. We wait for you patiently.

Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

I agree... It is hard! This process is one of the most difficult things I have ever done! We know God is in control! I am telling myself that over and over! I admire your strength and your trust in the Lord!!
I will pause and pray right now for a PA for you! God hears our prayers!
Hang in there, your PA is coming I just now it. Praying you are one of the less than 60 day approvals! The Lord's plan is perfect even tho I often wonder what was He thinking! :) Sometimes He shows me down the road.
I am so sorry that y'all are STILL waiting. I keep checking your blog for the post "We got PA". I know that the Embassy will not respond to any "third party" inquiries because our senator's office has sent several emails as well. I am praying for you daily.
Love,
Meghan
The waiting is agonizing at times but the PA will come.
Keep the faith!

Praying that the Lord gives you strength & patience to get through this agonizing wait!
Praying that there will be another flood of PAs this weekend or Monday and yours will be one of them.
