Day 1 in Colombia

We are now in Colombia and in another case of "hurry up and wait". We cannot see the boys today because we are waiting for the US Embassy to process one last piece of paper. I feel like I've been saying "This is the last document we need," for the past 2 or 3 months! But we do need one more thing before we can have the boys. Then we will begin the legal process. It takes 2 or 3 weeks becuase they want to be sure that therer is an attachment between everyone before they allow the boys to leave the country. Everything is in the best interest of the children although it is sometimes difficult to see.

It has been wonderful to have a relaxing day to unwind and de-stress from the long day of travel yesterday. Everyone we have met has been super friendly and helpful. It is sunny, 81 degrees, and a slight breeze. Absolutely perfect!

God is so good. Today my verse has been James 1:5-6a "If you need wisdom-if you want to know what God wants you to do-ask Him and He will gladly tell you. He will not resent your asking. But when you ask Him, be sure that you really expect Him to answer." I need to ask, and expect, His wisdom daily.

The prayer for today is that the US Embassy in Bogota will process the paper we need!

  1. It sure seems like the enemy has been working overtime lately. I e-mailed my Sunday School class yesterday and also friends and family so there are lots of people praying for you. Take care and God Bless. Love you lots! Mom
