Dossier/ Goverment paper work

So we received our information packet on Friday, I was so excited I dove right in and started reading over everything and getting myself all organized , I was ready to tackle the world.....the more I read the more overwhelmed and stressed I got, so much so that on Sunday night I was looking for papers in my sleep, evidently they were under the mattress :-) Nathan got a good laugh out of it.
But Monday is a new day, and I am so pleased with what got done today I got at least 3 things finished and 2 more partially done. I just keep reminding myself that God is in control, he has orchestrated this whole thing and will not leave us hanging. Please pray for me, that God will give me wisdom in understanding all of the legal stuff, and patience to not rush through things. I need to remember that all things happen in God's perfect timing ( not mine)
