Kids had fun celebrating their friend's 4th birthday yesterday!

 

It's not possible to get a 4 year old child to fully understand that she and her sister cannot come to Canada with mommy. This time.   Congo has said "no", so they have to stay.  BUT MAMA AND PAPA WILL COME BACK. That's the hope we have.  Both girls are repeating "mama is coming back". Yes, baby. We are coming back for you!   I have to admit, we've made false promises to our girls that they would come home with us.   Only God can see the greater purpose in this which we can only believe by faith. Because our hearts feel this is so wrong.  God is not the author of evil but for some reason unknown to us, He is allowing this to happen. Please pray for strength for Saturday when we say our goodbye's.  And also for staying strong the little time we have left so they don't become fearful.
