1 Chronicles 16:11 (NLT) says, “Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him. Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given.”
As we encounter challenges with US immigration in bringing Leila home, this is a Scripture I keep coming back to. Remember. This has probably been the toughest week for me with the adoption in this 2 year journey. God has shown me areas I have not yet relinquished to Him and my perfectionist self always has a hard time admitting my weaknesses. But it's true. I'm broken. I'm weak. I'm desperate for and in great need of a Savior. Where I am weak He is strong. I have to self preach a lot when I get in my narrow tunnel vision.
Keep praying. We've called in the earthly big guns and have asked our Congressman to help advocate for us. My nerves are calmer, and I'm blessed to be away for the weekend with a few girlfriends to keep my mind off of everything. A welcome refresher!

Terra, I just saw your recent posts, and I'm so, so sorry you're having to go through all of this. We dealt with (lots) of our own USCIS troubles, and I thought I would lose my mind some days. Adoption is no joke, but it's also one of the most sanctifying roads I've ever walked. Will be praying big things for your family this week!
