I have gone through so many ups and downs throughout this process. The other day, I lost it!! I was thinking about my INS fingerprints. I knew they had an expiration date and when I checked it, I thought I had met the deadline. My head started swimming...I was immediately down, stressed and overwhelmed. I immediated thought the worst...
I reacted rather than being proactice. The funny thing is, I'm speaking at Jr. High Girl's Camp this weekend and that was one of my challenges to the girls - "Be proactice...not reactive!" In fact, this is something I say a lot and believe! I'm all about being proactive but I did not take my own advice! Clint actually quoted me to myself. Somehow, it's so easy to say but difficult to do. So I had a really "good" cry...(leaving black mascara marks all over my white pillow case). Then I got up and emailed my agency.
Turns out - I had looked at the wrong paper and I my fingerprints do NOT expire until September. Needless to say, I need to take my own advice! :)
We are now 3 weeks and 1 day back in PGN!! Thank you for praying with us that we will get OUT!!!!
So when we feel down - like we can't take it anymore...hope!
"Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me?
HOPE in God, for I shall yet praise Him for the help of His countenance... The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime and in the night His song shall be with me - A prayer to the God of my life! I will say to God my Rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning... HOPE IN GOD!" Ps. 42:5, 8-9

Jami,
I just talked with my advocate a little while ago on the phone. I was telling her that the only thing that I have right now and that the only thing that I cling to, is my hope and faith in God. That is truly all that we have to get through this process! Thanks for a wonderful post!
I am praying for you!
