So were were talking about the Fruit of the Spirit the other day. B's been struggling with some of them... like kindness (particularly toward his little brother), gentleness, love, etc. So, I thought, maybe it would be good for him to memorize Galatians 5:22-23. After I recited it to him a couple times, it was his turn....
B: "Love, patience...carefulness...."
Hmm, I guess I know what else we talk about a lot...
Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law.

The King's Heart...
It seems like it is quite often that we find ourselves in this situation. A situation which looks impossible to us...where we think that humanly speaking, there is no way for it to work out. And yet, each of the times that we have been in this situation before, it HAS worked out. God has worked miracles. Literally. Let me review some of the amazing things He has done in our lives...
February 2012- After 6 weeks of phone calls and stress and being told it was not possible, my medical insurance came through...within 3 weeks of J's birth!
January 2012- The day before we arrived in North Carolina, we had the exact amount of money that we needed to begin our next class with our organization.
November 2011- Our monthly financial support jumped 18% in one week...the very week that we prayed God would direct us as to whether we should stay or move on. It was a very direct, obvious answer to our prayers.
January 2011- Three days after K completed the job interview with our organization, within the 2 weeks we had to find the next job, we got word of a flight instructor position open at LeTourneau. He was employed there 2 weeks later.
December 2010- After waiting 5 months, we received K's green card in the mail...within 7 days of moving across the country!
Should I keep going?? I feel like I could. God has done some amazing things in our lives!
So, here is the current situation we are faced with: We have tickets to move out of the country on Dec. 29. We have been waiting 10 months for K to have his US citizenship interview (which was previously scheduled in January, but we had to delay it as we were moving across the country). Nothing has happened since January. And we cannot move until we have the interview and citizenship. All of the inquiries we have made into his case have led to nothing. The most recent letter stated that they have to perform additional review to the case and that if we do not hear a decision within SIX MONTHS to contact them. Seriously? Six months?
Well, I was so encouraged by a reminder from a friend today.
Proverbs 21:1
"The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord;
He turns it wherever He wishes."
He turns it wherever He wishes."
Remember all He has done in the past! And He can do it again.
Would you pray with us that, in His will and time, K's citizenship would come through?
