Proverbs 24:12

"Once our eyes have been opened, we cannot pretend we do not know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows we know and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12

A Sea of Acronyms and Initials

Everywhere you turn in the adoption world there are more letters thrown at you.  There's being LID when your papers are "logged in" over in China.  Then there's the PA and LOA which bring you closer to seeing your new little one.  Yesterday we received via USPS our PA for our I-800 from the USCIS.  Alphabet soup, right??? Well, we love those letters in this house!  God is good and continues to open the doors to bringing Elsa home in His time.  Yesterday's mail is simply one more hoop before Elsa has immigration status here and can be released from China.  So exciting!

We continue to pray, dream, prepare and pray some more.  Each of us is anticipating the newest Lindquist every day.  Annika especially can't wait for her sister and playmate.  In fact, most days we buckle an imaginary Elsa into her car seat and talk to her about all we are doing as we run errands.  Annika's little heart is full as she asks the God of the universe to look after her sister until we can get there.

I wish I had more pictures or information about Elsa to share, but my attempts to ask for more from the orphanage were not successful.  We simply wait, trust and pray for her.

"God settles the solitary in a home"  Psalm 68:6    Elsa's home awaits.  God is good and true to His word.  ALWAYS.
