Prepared letters last night

I was very restless last night, so much so that even after going to bed well after midnight, I was still sleeping so lightly I was awake to tell Shawn to have a good day today at work when his alarm went off around 5 this morning.

Last night, after cleaning up the kitchen, I decided to write letters to send to our Senator, Congressman and State Representatives to ask for assistance when it is time to file for our immigration forms. Many families do this in an attempt to expedite their cases--for some families it works. And for other families? Well, it just doesn't. 

The act of writing the letter was draining, physically draining. Heart wrenching and I KNOW how dire Alexander's surviving situation in his country.

Keep praying, I sent our information for a grant last night to help ensure we stay fully funded. Right now, if we used all of our savings we would be totally funded. However, many of you know Murphy's law; in times of need if it something can go wrong, it usually does. We have been blessed NOT to have Murphy come for a visit......YET!

So keep praying!!!!

EDIT TO ADD: OUR HOMESTUDY DATE HAS BEEN SET!!!! MAY 12 @ 3:00 P.M. *our 60 day countdown begins*
