Monday he confirmed that their birth certificates were completed, but that both had a problem. Both were missing information on them. A two month wait, and they weren't done correctly.
Sigh.
Despite that, he made the decision to go ahead and submit our case to the CNA without the birth certificates! He is wanting the CNA to review our case (they might not until it's complete) and see if there is anything else that needs correction. He hopes that the birth certificates will be a "quick" fix and he will add them to the file when they are corrected. I'm hoping and praying that it's less than a two month wait this time. It should be, but it might not be.
Keep praying that the birth certificates come and come soon.
Seeing my kids in pictures and not being able to go to Guatemala has become very, very hard. Truthfully I'm finding myself thinking about them all day most days. It's getting harder to find peace in this situation and you could pray for my heart on that. We know that God is working and moving in the midst of this, but some days my human heart just can't see the progress. One thing I cling firmly to, is my unwavering knowledge of my Foundation. Despite my human, emotional frailty, God's promises never falter. Even when I can't feel Him, deep in my soul I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, He is in control.
And that gives me true hope to go on and keep fighting day after day, week after week, month after month, as we near the beginning of the 5th year of this journey.
You will keep in perfect peace
him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.
Isaiah 26:3-4
