After the small set back we are moving forward again. Last friday we had our fingerprints done and also made our first stop at the secretary of states office for the "great seal" on a set of paperwork. It feels good to be able to say those papers are done! Just waiting to be put with the rest of the stack to go out in the dossier.
The weirdest thing happened when we were at the secretary of states office. After signing in and sitting down to wait for our turn we had a lady come up and call me by name! What? How did she know my name? Turns out she was there for the very same thing. They were getting their paper stack sealed and are also heading to Ethiopia. After sitting there and talking with them it clear that we were both there at the same time because of one reason. God made both our schedules in the morning turn out so that we would both be in the same room at the same time. We had been running a few errands before that stop and she had small delays at home that morning with her children, but yet we both walked in within a couple minutes of each other. How awesome is that? Didn't plan on meeting someone that is traveling down the same journey as we are that morning. Each day still amazes me.
On another note, I have the most amazing husband! This week we are able to share his great creations with the world wide web. He has put his mind and heart into creating candles to be sold as a fundraising opportunity for our journey. Lightedpathwaycandles.com has gone "live" to the www. Check out the great creations he has made.
