playing football in the twilight zone

An update came this past week about the paperwork process, and instead of making us feel like things are finally moving forward, it left us asking, "why is implementing a new law so difficult?"  We do not understand why those in charge can't make up their minds about the new requirements.  As soon as we get our minds wrapped around one thing, it changes into something else.

Imagine signing up to play football.  You know the rules of the game and have a pretty good idea of what to expect when you get on the field.  But, when the game starts, the officials start changing the rules in the middle of the game.  You are confused but try your best to keep up with the changes; however, that's not good enough because the changes have no rhyme or reason to them, so they are hard to understand.

As crazy as that imaginary football game seems, that is exactly what we're living right now while we wait for our "game officials" to stop changing the rules and settle on a decision.

Our sincere and earnest prayer is that they would remember the children who are waiting--causing them to settle on a process that is quick and efficient.
