Today I was trying to finish up a few things for our dossier, but ran into a major snag when I went to get Torrey's birth certificate. Apparently you cannot pick up your spouses birth certificate (even though I did it about 2 years ago somehow). Last time I think they had mercy on me because I brought all 5 children with me on the 1.5 hour trip. Now apparently you have to be a blood relative (over 18... I tried to get them to let Noah (6) sign for it).... so your long lost drugged out sister-in-law who just got out of jail for extortion in Utah (an interesting relative but none the less a figment of my imagination) CAN come and pick up a birth certificate but NOT the loving wife who has on hand the marriage certificate, drivers license for both husband and wife, wife's birth certificate, notarized papers that had been signed by both of us that very same day, and loving children of both husband and wife. So instead I get to take the paperwork home, fill it out, copy the drivers license I had in my hand, sign the paper at home and send it in the mail so they can send it to me in the mail. SO FRUSTRATING!!! This is by no means more secure!!! On top of all of this I got my I-600A stuff back because the Indianapolis office does not accept personal check! Okay I am breathing deeply! Now that I have gotten that off of my chest, I can let it go. Lord please give me the self-control to not send a nasty letter with my request for my husband's birth certificate, help me to be patient as I finish my paper chase. Lord please help me to forgive those who are rude and help me to show kindness in return for nastiness. I know you are in charge of everything and everything will work out in your timing, according to your plan. Help me to submit to you and trust in Your Mighty Hand to bring all things into place according to your purposes.
