Monday December 12th was a day just like any other. I got off work late (as usual) and did the kid round up. This day, as I approached my mailbox I did not have even the slightest bit of anticipation. I was in the place of total surrender. Of course, I was hoping that the I800 approval was there, but I was almost sure it WAS NOT!
I very distinctly remember being on the phone with Jason having a light and easy conversation about the days events. I open the mailbox and stopped DEAD in my tracks! Right on top there was a letter from the Department of Homeland Security. What??? Really??? I don't remember what came next the scream, the tears.... or the laugh. I ripped open the envelope to discover that my amended I800a and I800 approval were both contained within!
I SERIOUSLY did a little jig at the mailbox. I cried, I laughed, and I danced and danced! Although contrary to my wild visions of a lyrical hip hop number, the dancing was mostly contained within the parameters of my heart. Again and Again I was reminded that we are EXACTLY where we are supposed to be in this journey. Smack dab in the middle of God's will..... HIS perfect timing.
From there, things have moved so swiftly I can barely keep up. Thursday Dec.15th we mailed off our passports and applied for our visas. Friday Dec.16th I received the approval letter from the NCV and tomorrow this information will be sent to the representative in China.
We are getting so close. We only have a few steps left in the process, then we will be on our way! I'm praying for travel in January! I thank everyone so deeply and sincerely for all the prayers and financial support that you've blessed us with. Jason and I would not be where we are if God had not placed you in our lives to walk along side us in this miraculous journey. Thank you! Thank You! Thank you!
