whoo - the US government is working fast

So in under 10 days we went to renew Nate's passport - and got it back already!  AMAZING - they said it could be a few months!  Nope - not even 2 weeks - WITH a holiday thrown in!  Gotta Love it!  his passport expired at the end of this year - so we're hoping now that he can travel on the short trip with us - so we can all become a family together.

Then last week my friend had finger prints (to renew the dossier and all that) and her report was mailed in days!  Again - cool beans!  I know things are shut down for the season in ET but I just have this feeling things are all aligning for everyone - that our kids are fine and we'll hear soon when we will have a court date.  Ok - soon may be in middle of October or early November to even GET a court date - so we shall see.   I heard from our agency today they still don't have a confirmation as to when the courts will be open again  could be this month or next.  I've seen both out there in blog/group world - but we'll get there.  Just exciting anyhow.  God's got a plan and a LOT of things in motion in the Backus House - so hopefully its all just in his time so that it works out the best.   - that's my prayers and I"m sticking to it

so all that said - I do have some prayer requests for anyone that believes out there

1 -my coworker Bob - his wife Marsha was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year - well he emailed people this weekend and they are preparing to Hospice to come in - NOT good at all!  She's in her 40's and has two young sons

2 - a friend lost her sister -in her 40's this weekend as well!  Unexpectedly.

3 - the Borkes  family - Ruth the mom and wife died over a week ago to some rare infection - again totally unexpected

Just a lot of sadness - but all are or will be with our Lord one day.

Thanks all.
Gail
