Saying its in God's hands and Believing it's in God's Hands are 2 different things

Right now, I am finding it easy to say that God is in control of this whole process. But I am having a hard time letting God do the work. Of course I do believe it is in God's hands I just am finding it very hard to leave it up to God.
We have had a busy couple of days doing adoption stuff. Wednesday June 23 T. and I went to Edmonton to a Meet and Greet with Gordon and Diane Lewis, the directors of the Mission on Tears agency in Ontario. It was nice to meet them and put names to faces for them and us. T. was impressed that Gordon actually remembered reading our application and remembered us. Also at this meeting was the Social worker that works in South Africa and matches the adoptive parents to the children. It was nice to talk to her and learn more about that children that our available. She did say that sibling groups of 2 are not very common and neither are twins. We asked her about my postpartum experience and she said that it shouldn't be a problem as it was a one time issue and if anything we may just need a doctors note clarifying that I am well to parent and that it shouldn't be an issue for adoption. That was Good News because I am always wondering.
Then on Thursday June, 24 from 3-5 pm . Our social worker came to our house for our home study visit. As you can imagine I was tidying and organizing like crazy. which was not needed!! But the house sure looks good now. I even hired a housekeeper and lawn care but that was because I was running out of time. She really didn't look at our house more at our interactions between each other and a few safety issues like where do you keep cleaning supplies and medicine and do you have a fire extinguisher and escape plan. She was friendly and easy to talk to. She has 4 children and lives in Whitecourt. Then on Friday June 25, T. and I drove to Whitecourt to meet with here for interviews from 10-12 and 1-3. So that was a long day. Lots of questions asking about your grandparents, parents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and others. For one part T. and I were each given forms to fill out without talking. Then we each have to meet with our social worker to talk about our answers. This part made me feel the most nervous. Please pray for our social worker as she writes up our home study that it is a true reflection of who we are today and may God shine through this whole process. Pray for T and I to have strength as we put our trust in God. Love Dilly Dall

A Crazy Busy time right now

It has been a crazy busy week and the next will be busy as well. My Sister's wedding is in 2 days so there is lots of preparations for that happening. We are waiting for family and cousins to come. J and K keep asking when are my cousin's going to be here?
I found out that my medical doctor is moving so I had to hurry up and make an appointment and make sure I have the right medical form for the adoption. I also wanted to talk to him about our adoption because he is from South Africa and I wanted to learn more about the country and customs. So I have that appointment next week. When I phoned about the medical form I found out that Robyn, the lady in South Africa that arranges the adoptions will be in Edmonton on Wed. June 23 from 6:30 - 9 pm for a meet and greet and that we should try to attend. Well this date is perfect for us because Terry is just getting off shift and we can go. Then the next day Thursday June 24 our social worker is coming to meet with us at our house. This is stressful but really exciting how things our moving along!
Today K and I where looking on the globe to see where South Africa is and where Canada is. He said a little prayer asking God to protect his brother or sister until we can bring them home. This was really sweet and a prayer that we ask all of you to pray for us. J. is getting excited too she has told some friends at school and they are excited with her. We still have a lot of work ahead of us. Please keep praying that we have everything in order and for favor. Love D
