The verse that will get me thru.....

Hebrews 11:1

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.

This has been my favorite Bible verse our whole adoption process. Everytime I start to worry about something, God somehow shows this verse to me, to remind me to keep the faith.

A new week is about to begin, and still no travel call. On Friday I was hoping for good news when I called DC, but was told the same thing "P3 has been out since 6/3 and has not been returned". Another family did receive good news and has a visa interview Monday! I am so excited for them and know I could not be too far behind, but THIS weekend has been extremely hard on me.

On faith, I purchased plane tickets for Thursday, that's right, JUNE 26, in 5 days. They are direct flights, and the price was a few hundred dollars cheaper than the flights with layovers. Our travel agent had reserved the tickets 2 times, and the ticketing was due by Friday or we would have lost the seats. This is there peak season and any seats are pretty scarce. I did this also because of it being a direct flight, and since none of us has ever been in an airport, let alone fly, it would be the easiest on our family, and one less thing to worry about.

On faith, I am hoping for a visa interview or actual visa issuing on Monday, and then a travel call by Wednesday morning. If that doesn't happen I will change our flights to a later date, just not sure when. If there is no visa on Monday I can call and our travel agent will void the tickets, without a change fee.

Please keep us in your prayers the rest of the weekend, and this coming week, and pray that if it's God's will that we will be able to leave as planned on Thursday!
