Our girls' Congolese passports were to arrive this past week but we haven't heard anything. And now it's an American long weekend so we wait. Something that should have taken 3 weeks is now taking close to 3 months! We should be used to this by now but with an optimistic outlook, one gets disappointed very easily.
Praying for God to move the mountains!
Dear Lagemaat family:
ReplyDeleteAs you began this procedure a few years ago, you called it a "journey of faith". And now it has become that ever increasingly. God can and will move mountains, but we are also reminded from Hebrews 11 that these heroes acted as they did by faith against all human odds. Being in the furnace is not a comfortable place to be, but it does purify our faith as believers. Sometimes we call it "blind trust" and it may seem that way, but behind the scenes "we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen" 2 Cor. 4:17. Behind the scenes is our God who walks in "our furnace" with us as He did with Daniel's friends. And so our faith gets a "workout" as He alone sees fit for us.
Faithful One, so unchanging
Ageless One, You’re my rock of peace
Lord of all I depend on You
I call out to You, again and again
I call out to You, again and again
You are my rock in times of trouble
You lift me up when I fall down
All through the storm
Your love is, the anchor
My hope is in You alone
With our love and prayers,
