Fingerprinting and other not so interesting news with a bonus prayer request

We headed back to the Department of Homeland Security in OKC yesterday to get our second set of fingerprints. The first time, I got a long lecture from the technician because my hands were too dry to get a good read. I prepped this time with lots of lotion and by sending moisturizing thoughts toward my finger tips. It didn't work. I had three fingers fail. But, no lecture this time. My husband on the other hand, passed with flying colors. I told the technician that if I were Scarlet O'Hara, Rhett Butler would have figured me out and also rejected me. It's strangely embarrassing to be told you have really dry hands lol.

In other news, Rosebud is juggling major philosophical and spiritual concerns, like, if Jesus is in my heart, did he go through my throat? Is it dark down there?  She also asks excitedly multiple times a week of this is the day we get to go get M. I'm glad she is excited about being a big sister, and wish I could tell her yes :)

As for the adoption, we got a brief update. The upside, our paperwork had reached the highest level that it needs to. On the down side, there are some corrections that need to be made? And hopefully those can be made with minimal effort and time, then it can continue on the course that is required.

If you feel so inclined to join us in prayer, here is what we are praying:

For miracle speed in processing this paperwork! That the signatures are quickly attained, sent to our attorney, given to us, notarized and received back in Lesotho with lightening speed! That a court date is miraculously being held for us, so that our attorney can get our M adopted and we can plan for a trip in July. This would be a miracle! But we believe in a God who still performs daily miracles, and who loves an blessed his children :). 

Thank you all for your prayers! And for being here in this journey with us.
