U.S.A., Here We Come!!!!

Miracles, miracles, and more miracles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Deut. 1:30 "The Lord your God which goes before you, He shall fight for you..."

Once again, the Lord has done great things!  I still cannot believe it.  I don't know why I continue to be surprised at the Lord, but HE JUST AMAZES ME!  The way He has moved on our behalf is unbelievable.  It is truly a miracle, and there's no other way to explain this!

Today we went for the medical clearance (after waiting 48 hours for the TB test results).  When we left the clinic, Wes called the Embassy to see if we could move up our Visa appointment, which was scheduled for next Monday.  This was at 11 a.m.  The Embassy asked if we could arrive by noon!  So we sped over there and went through the Visa interview process.  There were about 100 people waiting for interviews, and they took us first!  I didn't understand what anyone was saying, but I kept hearing everyone say "adoption" and "adoption" and "adoption."  We went straight to the front of the line!  Then the US embassy said they would guarantee the visa to come by tomorrow (Friday).  They said it was IMPOSSIBLE to get it today.  We were ok with that; after all, God was already moving faster than we had expected.  I thanked God and prayed, "God, with man this is impossible, but it's not for you.  But either way, we PRAISE YOU!"

We went for lunch and took the girls to a nearby playground to get some of Hope's energy out! She's a live wire! ;)

And guess what????

The Embassy called at 3:30 and said, "are you close by?  The visa is READY!"  Didn't they just tell us this was IMPOSSIBLE?!

Matthew 19:26 Jesus said, "with man this is impossible, but for God, all things are possible."

We were only 10 minutes away.  We made it there JUST as the workers were leaving at 4 p.m., but the security guard on the outside was excited to see us and let Wes in right away.  So, we have EVERYTHING we need to head home!  USA! USA!

And better yet, we found tickets to come home tomorrow!  TOMORROW!

We will arrive Friday, April 4th at 6:51 p.m. in TERMINAL C on United Airlines.  YAY!!!!!

We fly to Korea then San Francisco first, so we will already be done with customs when we arrive.  We won't be coming in at the International Terminal, either, since our last flight home comes from San Francisco.

I know you can't WAIT to see these 3 little Indians! ;)

PRAISE GOD WITH US!  He has done great things!  He did in 7 days what we expected to take 30-50 days!!!!

This is the song I've been singing all week and will continue to sing as we remember this trip to India!  You should listen to this song!

"Never Once" by Matt Redman

Standing on this mountaintop
Looking just how far we’ve come
Knowing that for every step
You were with us

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Kneeling on this battle ground
Seeing just how much You’ve done
Knowing every victory
Was Your power in us

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Yes, our hearts can say

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Scars and struggles on the way
But with joy our hearts can say
Never once did we ever walk alone
Carried by Your constant grace
Held within Your perfect peace
Never once, no, we never walk alone

Never once did we ever walk alone
Never once did You leave us on our own
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Every step we are breathing in Your grace
Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praise
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful

You are faithful, God, You are faithful
You are faithful, God, You are faithful
