God HAS won our Jericho!!

on
Do I hear a "hallelujah" out there?
I didn't hear you :)
Do I hear another "hallelujah?"
How about an, "amen!"
How about a, "praise the Lord!"
"How can I keep from singing your praise, how amazing is your love!!"
PLEASE worship and praise the Lord with us ...
In the words of my amazing and wonderful husband Sam, "God has indeed moved the mountain and He has won this Jericho! Praise The Lord- you will be home sooner than later!!! O happy day!"
All of this to say .....
WE HAVE KODY's PASSPORT
(and there are NO typos)!!
Kody is coming home!
I am coming home!!!!!
THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS!! THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS!! THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!
Tomorrow I go to the US embassy and file the visa ... and beg that they accept the medical either later on that day or on Wednesday!
Then I go to the medical clinic and beg that they do the medical ASAP and if they do need a stool sample that they get the report done ASAP!!
Depending on how this all goes depends on WHEN I come home!!!
Sometimes next week ...
In time for the FAIR ...
In time for our wonderful friends the DeAndreas to come and visit ...
In time to spend the last two weeks with my daughter before she begins 1st grade ...
Kody
gets
to
come
home
with
me
on
this
trip!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!! I am weeping reading this, Maria!!!! God is so good, and you know Him so much better now after trusting Him so completely for so long. What awesome works He will be able to use you for from here forward.

I won't quit praying for you until Kody is HOME, though.

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

THIS is the DAY the Lord has made! CELEBRATING with you with joyous tears and Yahhhhoooooos' in your honor. In emails with BH today realized that the HEAVENS were moved today because the enemy rose up to strike hard...but he did not prevail or even de-rail the thoughts and plans of anyone involved! Ever seen Victoria's African Happy dance.....well YOU GOT ONE!...well I should say you have got two....the first one was when you brought us over spaghetti over for dinner when we first came home! GRIN! Praying over your med-lab stuff, your visa appointment in the a.m. and for quick recognition in lines and at check in points! Hey....there is AC in the Embassy....if you need to stay to get it all things done and covered you can stay cool and watch CNN (GRIN again) The His Kids Booth at the Fair next week will have an extra bit of excitement, with Kody's little face close by!
LOVE YOU GUYS and so proud to see you WAIT on the LORD in HIS MIGHT and POWER with your FULL ARMOR on!
