So we got word yesterday that one of the documents spelled her name wrong!!! So we got turned down and they need to correct it before we can be cleared for travel...duh, duh, duh...what a bummer for us to wake up to!!!
This hit me harder than I expected and really showed me how much I do not know how to handle disappointment and trials!! I immediately started to get angry at God and basically have a temper tantrum! We just keep hitting more and more challenges and nothing has really gone right for us all along! We've hit almost EVERY roadblock possible, and so it just keeps escalating in my heart!!
But I had some good reminders, scriptures, and devotionals come along the way since yesterday morning. One was on trials and how God brings good out of them ( I knew that, but they shared it in a different way that helped me a lot). My precious traveling friend, Tracy, sent me some more from Streams in the Desert. One said, "Nothing that is not part of God's will is allowed to come into the life of someone who trusts and obeys Him." If Satan is in this to try to deter us, God has already filtered his plans to make them good for us...what a blessing that is to know!!
And "there is nothing Christ dislikes more than for His people to publicly profess Him and then not use Him. He loves for us to make use of Him, for His covenant blessings are not simply meant to be looked at but should be appropriated."
What great truths He is whispering to me right now!! Thank you, God!!
Amen! I m excited to read when it is a YES go.
