papers flying to ghana

*insert happy dance of joy*
three REALLY SUPER exciting things happened since friday:
1.  this afternoon, our social worker notified us that they have received our first dossier package and everything passed "inspection."  this is a huge ordeal as there can always be small changes or little items missing.
2. we raised the last $200 we needed to be pay our program fee and NOW OUR AGENCY WILL SEND THE FIRST PART OF OUR DOSSIER TO GHANA TOMORROW!
3.  in the mail, we received a check for the exact amount needed for our immigration processing and fingerprinting!!

it is really easy to become overwhelmed whenever you are in the middle of a long process.  our God is so kind to give us encouragement through (not so) little ways like a check in the mail for the exact amount we need!  it shouldn't surprise us that God is able to orchestrate these types of things since He created the universe....buuuuuuuut....IT IS AMAZING NONETHELESS!!  "O Lord God Almighty, who is like You?  You are might, O Lord, and Your faithfulness surrounds You" (psalm 89:8).
