Well this I600A has gotten the best of me this week. It really has and I'm ashamed to let you see this side of me. I'm usually a very laid back person but worrying get my best sometimes. As previously stated, I gave gotten a few emails within the week telling me check out the uscis website. Apparently they are 6 months behind schedule. I can't wait 6 months ontop of whatever we initially thought. I mean, I can but I really, really don't want to.
I've sulked this week.
I've called my homestudy lady.
I've emailed other AGCI friends.
And today I broke down and called Christy, my AGCI case mangaer. When she picked up the phone I started out by saying "I'm sad...." and then told her the rest. She let me know it DOESN'T slow down our paperwork process of DC and Ethiopia. She also told me it WON'T cause us much problems as they have ways of contacting congressmen and getting the job done if push comes to shove.
I feel much better. And then, I read other posts. I forget how truly blessed I am. Nearly to the point of spoiled brat status. I'm given much more than I deserve. He called us to this in the very first place, so I have nothing to worry about. I have nothing I can control. I am out of any excuses, complaints, whining, moody, grouchiness.
Hold me accountable won't you? I appreciate it if you would.

oh as a praise report..my husbands passport came in the mail today! PTL
Yay for good news from Christy. I just love AGCI. They've always got your back. Don't be hard on yourself though, because we are only human. I also get grumpy and whiny sometimes. It reminds us that we are only human and don't have much control over the universe. I'm glad you are finding your footing again. :)

thanks for your comments and especially your prayers...yes, this has been a crazy week...we totally weren't expecting this ,but we do believe God is in control and will see us through this hurdle....thanks for your kindness through it all, kristi
thanks Amber...your kindness during all this really means a lot..kristi
Isn't it great when we're in that tough place of discomfort, panic and worry and then God gives us peace through others, a phone call, a blog or even just a new morning. So glad there are options if USCIS drags their feet. Can't wait for your girls to be home and in your arms!
ahh, isn't it awful the way we feel when we're demanding, grouchy, impatient and don't even realize it!
But when we breath, praise, pray, breath - it's sooooo much better! It's just hard to see it all when we're in that mood....
God IS in control - give it to him. USCIS is nothing! (ok, so it's a bit of red tape, anxiety, and holds some power - but NOT IN CONTROL)
hugs
