When? When? When?

So WHEN are we going to China?

If only I knew.  If only I knew.

Our last step in this process which should be really quick, may potentially be delayed because of Chinese New Year.  Although it is still a week away, many people in China are already taking time off to the with their families.....   thus our last little piece of needed approval may have to wait until after the holiday there. 

**SIGH***

It also means that we may get travel approval after the holiday and then travel very quickly.......

It also means that I may miss two of chidlren's birthdays because I'll be in China.

***SNIFF***

So for the last two days I have been fretting.  My heart and my head.  Spinning 100 miles an hour trying to figure it all out.  Frustrated that a holiday in China is keeping me from traveling NOW.  Wondering if there is anything, anyone who can help speed this up.  Then, I saw this:


And I am reminded of what I already know.  I do not have to fight.  I do not have to fret.  He has this.  I need only be still........

I'm right behind you, still waiting, waiting, waiting. Just got home from a great Beth Moore study on just that very subject. Aahh. God is faithful! We just have to wait on Him and nothing else. (it's still so hard!) We are still waiting 4 weeks now for our 1800 approval. Praying we both get some approvals this week!
