Extremely Frustrated

I know there always has to be one more thing, but this is getting ridiculous.  Wednesday we got our receipt in the mail saying that the USCIS received our package. Yesterday we received a package from the USCIS that contained our entire package that we had just sent them.  They sent everything back because the check we gave them for their services was $10 over the amount required.  I guess they can’t write checks so there was no way to give us back the $10.  If we would have known we would have said to just keep the change, but they might consider that a bride-who knows.  It cost them $3 to send it back to us and it will cost us another $10 to send it back to them.  Talk about ridiculous!  We were both pretty frustrated about it last night, but I guess it was our fault.  We should have triple checked everything, but when you have a huge packet of stuff you are sending it is pretty easy to make a mistake.  I am just hoping that was the only one.  I guess we will see.

I know everything happens for a reason and getting so frustrated and disappointed really doesn’t do any good.  I kept telling myself this last night so I could calm down and get to sleep.  It is just one more thing to add to our extremely long list of things that have happened to delay our adoption.  I just have to continue to trust that Heavenly Father knows what He is doing and that we are in His hands. There really is nothing else we can do about it.  It is hard when things are out of our control, but I guess that is where faith and patience comes in.  We are definitely learning a lot about that and I am sure we will continue to have these opportunities to learn more.
