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
