…the answer to our question, “What does it/will it mean for us that our agency is not on “The List”?  Last week, our case worker in MT heard from the lawyer and the orphanage director who are both currently in Port au Prince.  Both men seem confident that they won’t have any problems submitting our cases into IBESR.  I wish we were as confident as they are!  Our case worker is advising that we give them a “reasonable amount of time” to continue their efforts…What is “reasonable”? you ask… FOR ME: reasonable would be a couple of weeks… FOR THEM/HAITI: reasonable will probably be more like many weeks/months.  Pray for GOD’S reasonable time frame 🙂  and for us to accept whatever that is.

After the last post my sweet friend, Barbi, sent me the lyrics to the song I had mentioned…they bring me comfort and peace.  Here it is:  The Same God by Newsong.

Back to the wall, scared you’ll fall
What you going to do
Day and night,
Don’t know why its like the world’s against you
You’re praying for a break through

There was a day
When your faith couldn’t be held down
God was near enough to hear every word
But somehow you wish He heard you right now
Don’t you know

The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now

Can’t you see
Everything happens for a reason
There’s a time, there’s a place
For every season
He knows what’s best for you
So don’t be afraid

The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now

Just keep holding on
Oh keep holding on

The same God who was with you then is with you now
The same God who led you in will lead you out
So take all the fear and doubt
Go on and lay them down
The same God, the same God is with you now

We believe this to be true!  Join us in praying for a breakthrough…thanks!
