Update

OK, so the lady who was doing our home study (since May) was convinced that she needed to see documents that she was not allowed to see. She also was convicted that she would not sign over our home study without seeing these documents. Even though the higher ups at both the Call and the DHS said she didn't need to see the documents, she held to her belief. So, our friend, and leader of the local CALL, asked her for all our information back, and told her she wasn't right for our mission. I'm a "rule follower," so I do understand conviction, but I also understand that sometimes the spirit of the law is context for the actual law. And in this case, there are precious children who will start another year of school in another town, not with us.

Now we are in full sale mode..less than 3 weeks until I move in. The boys room has clothes, toys and shoes filled to the ceiling and I am traveling and preparing for our event. Richard is also "in season" and back to his travelling schedule. Sheridan and I started homeschooling on Monday. Our new social worker has our packet of information and will be visiting us next week to take care of our home study for good. I'd like to be excited, but until it happens, and someone says, "We've got some kids for you to check out," I'm being cautious with my heart.

"Dear Lord please be with these boys, my children and our family. Be glorified with all that we do, and help me to focus more on You than on the circumstances of this world. Amen."
