Don't Forget Who Is In Charge!!

It started with an e-mail I received on Thursday. It stated that Korea was getting close to the quota for passports that they allow a year. I made phone calls trying to find out if Alyssa had a passport or if they had filed for her passport yet and got no answers. I was frustrated and having some what of a melt down. My Friday didn't go any better! Then on Saturday much to my surprise I received a letter in the mail stating that Alyssa's visa papers had been forwarded to Korea. Now I really don't know what to think! They have to file for Alyssa's passport and receive it before they can file for her visa. Still confused and frustrated!
Saturday evening it hit me like a lead balloon. I AM NOT in charge!!! The Lord is and it will all happen in his timing NOT mine!! So my new outlook is that it is not when Alyssa comes home it is that she comes home!!!!! Don't get me wrong it is VERY HARD not to wonder but I am doing my best to leave it to my God. I pray for Alyssa every night and I know she will come home!
Now I am getting ready to start a very busy yet fun week. Our local Watermelon Festival is this week and there is something going on every night not to mention the fact that I am a class parent and each class builds a float for the parade on Saturday.
I hope everyone has a blessed and wonderful week!!!

I ponder why God has to remind us this so many times. It could be the fact that we are human and like to control everything. I am so glad that you have a different perspective on this step in the journey. May God bless you this week, and I pray for answers to questions that still have you confused. Love you lots!
