Sucked in to the Pit

These last two week have been hard. We got some disturbing news from our State regarding the agency we used for our HS. As it turns out, we are going to have to re-do it to meet USCIS requirements. With everything going on, I definitely feel myself being sucked in to a pit of despair. Knowing we are so close to bringing our daughter home and yet, after we climbed the mountain, feeling like we just slide half way back down. Thankfully, T is leading the charge and his "can do" attitude is dragging me out of this pit of self pity I want to stay in. The worst thing about it is that I know God's in charge and this will all work out, but I keep beating myself up about it anyways instead of just trusting in Him. And as I sit here and complain and moan about our little paperwork issue, two of our friends kids are fighting for their lives. So I am asking you to help me today to pray for tiny "C" in Texas, that the antibiotics do their job and clear up her little lungs and for "T", just home from the DRC in May and diagnosed with leukemia. Pray for strength for their families and for healing for their little bodies, that they may grow in Your love and shine as a light of hope for those around them. In Jesus Name. Amen.
