Legalization

Since I posted last, a lot of you have asked me about this piece of paper that the US Consulate is waiting on. I just found out that this paper is a document that verifies the girls' birth certificates are registered with the Haitian government. This document is now being "legalized" (officially stamped by the Haitian govenment) and that is what the U.S. Consulate is waiting on before they will issue the girls' visas. I have no idea how long this will take, but will let you all know when it occurs. Thanks for your many prayers! I also thought I would share the following, it is one thing helping me get through all of this...

I was regretting the past
And fearing the future...
Sudenly my Lord was speaking:
"MY NAME IS I AM." He paused.
I waited. He continued,

"WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE PAST,
WITH ITS MISTAKES AND REGRETS,
IT IS HARD. I AM NOT THERE.
MY NAME IS NOT I WAS.

"WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE FUTURE,
WITH ITS PROBLEMS AND FEARS,
IT IS HARD, I AM NOT THERE.
MY NAME IS NOT I WILL BE.

"WHEN YOU LIVE IN THIS MOMENT,
IT IS NOT HARD.
I AM HERE.
MY NAME IS I AM.
