"Those that WAIT UPON the Lord, will renew their strength ... "
********************
I am RIGHT NOW waiting upon the Lord as quite honestly my heart feels SO sad it feels like it could break! Yes I know there are many more things to be sad about, today the realization that we very well could be waiting MONTHS for Kody to come home has become REAL in my heart!
********************
So our adoption update is that there is no update on Kody's passport! The reality is that the Immigration Office has said for weeks that Kody's passport was done and that they just needed to meet with AMAZING Romana, to find out last Friday that in reality it was not done and to find out that for some reason all the other children's passport would need verification of their documents but not Kody's ... and that they would be working on Kody's passport! Well after a week of no update my heart and mind is starting to put the pieces together ... with the realization that at this point we really can not have ANY expectations that Kody's passport will be done soon! The last few weeks clearly speak to that, and to that at this point the information being given by the Immigration office is not reliable!
***********************
So it feels like we have hit a MAJOR OBSTACLE!
SO my heart is SAD!
***********************
But please don't be confused about my sadness!
I am feeling VERY SAD yet I am also simultaneously FULLY trusting God's timing and God's goodness!
***************************
What I do know FOR SURE is that God's time is the BEST, even if it does not match my own expectations and time frame, sometimes especially if it does not match my own time frame!
***************************
What I also know FOR SURE is that no obstacle is too big for God but that unlike us, God sees the WHOLE PICTURE (and has every detail in the palm of His hands) and that things are going on that I might never know or understand until the other side of eternity !!
****************************
What I also know FOR SURE is that Kody right now has an amazing mommy and daddy and 3 wonderful sisters!! And although my heart aches to have him home with me in my arms, I know that he is completely loved and completely being taken care of!
**********************
So yes although my heart is for today completely sad ... I am also feeling COMPLETELY thankful and COMPLETELY BLESSED!
