I was home by myself eating my lunch when the phone rings and the caller ID displays “Holt International” - my stomach drops…why were they calling? Is Kianna okay? I did not expect to receive the news I was about to hear. “Your papers/case has been submitted to Embassy.” Wow! I was shocked but able to ask a few questions. But again, due to the many changes that are happening my questions were not able to be answered. Yes - this is exciting that our papers are now being worked on, but it could take up to a month before they pass…. It was good to receive this news…put some excitement back into the waiting.
My dad sent me a devotional that him and mom used to do together and this has been a great comfort to me over the last few weeks. It’s a small way in which I feel a little like mom’s encouraging me on in this journey. One devotional said “God is always with me, I will not be afraid.” We fear the future, something’s up ahead and I don’t want it. Fear is the contradiction of faith. Faith says, “Whatever it is, it’ll be okay because of God.” God is with us/me individually…personally as one of His children. This isn’t new information for me but it’s actually starting to make sense to me….it’s not only in my mind but I’m living it in my heart.
