Mother's Day 2013

Last year on this day, I received my first Mother’s Day cards, was swarmed with hugs, and greeted with a chorus of “Happy Mother’s Day Kaytch!” from many of the boys.  This year, there were no cards, hugs, or greetings, because instead of being back at Nepo by now like I was fully expecting to be, I am still here in the good ‘ole US of A.  For those of you who haven’t heard, I found out at the beginning of April that the visa agency I had been using is a fraud.  They never turned in my papers to the Consulate, continually lied about the Consulate needing more documents, and then left town with my money.  Thankfully, I was able to recover my papers including my passport and the extremely important papers that had come from the Orphanage and I praise the Lord for this!  I have found another visa agency to use that was recommended by the Consulate upon hearing about the situation and my papers have been sent to them.  Unfortunately, my visa is still not processing because of numerous delays at the Consulate and according to the agency that I am using, once my visa starts processing, it can take 2-3 months for it to be approved. 

I know that nothing happens outside of the sovereign will of God and He can use even a situation like this for the good and for His glory.  So, I am trusting in Him and asking you to join with me in prayer.  Please pray that the Consulate will accept all of my papers considering some of them were issued back in September when I originally began this process.  Please also pray that my visa will be approved by the Consulate with no additional problems and in God’s perfect timing.  Finally, please continue to pray that the Lord will bring me back to Nepo according to His perfect will.  Thank you for your prayers!  

To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God.  Do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.  Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Psalm 25: 1-2, 4-5
