Keep praying

Well, I finally received a notice in the mail today to be in Jacksonville for my fingerprinting appointment on May 13th. I also got access to the email address of the officer in charge at the USCIS office in Atlanta. I emailed her to see if there was any way she might help me. She was not able to move my appointment time up, but did tell me that if I would email her 2 days after I was fingerprinted, she would personally walk through and approve my I600A form I have been waiting for all this time. This means that as of right now, it would be possible to get all my info to Vietnam by the July 1st deadline. That is the first hurdle. The second hurdle is hoping and praying to get matched with a child in the 2 months before September 1st. "All things are possible" as the scripture goes. I am trying very hard to have faith, but, whether it is good or bad, I am a realist as well. The anxiety that I am feeling is unlike anything I have ever experienced. It causes the other issues in life right now to be magnified by 1000%. So much time, energy, emotion, and work have gone into this process. I truly pray for God's will, but more than that, I pray for acceptance of His will. That is the most difficult part. To say this is an emotional roller coaster in an understatement. If things do not work out, I know I will be ok. But it will most assuredly be one of the hardest blows I have had in life thus far. I also hope and pray that if I am blessed with a child, that I remain forever grateful for what I went through to get him. I ask that all who read this to please keep this in your prayers.
