So this week there was an interview at the US Embassy in Addis Ababa on our behalf. When others have had this type of interview the Embassy has cleared them to bring their child home within 24 hours. Some, within 2 or 4 hours. So we totally expected to wake up Tuesday morning to an e-mail from the Embassy telling us that we had cleared and come pick up E.
We didn't get that e-mail on Tuesday.
or Wednesday.
We heard that there was a mis-translated date on one of our papers and that that was re-submitted on Wedneday and we should hear Thursday morning.
Sure enough we got an e-mail Thursday morning.....but it was NOT the e-mail we were expecting. This email said that some other pieces of paperwork needed fixed. This will take a few more days to get all those together.
So we wait again.
Marjorie was reminded this week while reading Tobiah his nightly Bible story, that Jesus waited days before he went to his friend Lazarus so that God's glory would be shown.
God show your glory in our story too. This was your plan from day one, not ours. If we need to wait a little more, then His plan is going to pretty awesome on the back end.
