A lot went on this week. Our paperwork finally made it to Colombia and is currently being translated. (I'm not even going to begin to explain what held it up three extra weeks......I'm just thankful that it's finally there.) Our attorney has already gone ahead of us and talked with the people over our case to let them know it will be presented to them very soon. He is eager to stay on top of things, to keep it moving, and to represent us. What a nice feeling it is to know that he already knows us. We're definitely not just a piece of paper this time around--to anyone involved. We also got our fingerprint appointment for immigration scheduled for November 20th, and we were able to sidestep the appointment and get it done three weeks early. We walked in on Wednesday afternoon to see if they would take us on a walk-in, and even though the lady very firmly said that they do NOT take walk-ins and that they ONLY reschedule appointments by mail, she made an exception to take us that afternoon because they weren't busy at all. (Maybe she was being nice because it was Mike's birthday. :)) Every day this month brings us one day closer to the answers we have been waiting for over the last four months (or more like the last four years).
Isaiah 30:18
Yet the Lord LONGS to be gracious to you; He rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who WAIT (or long) for Him.
(I learned today that the words long and wait here are actually the same Hebrew word. Isn't is nice to know that as much as I long for an answer here, God is longing to give it to me?)
