Painful day
The highs and lows of this trip have been difficult to deal with. Today started with the high of flying home and rapidly decended once at the consulat to pick up Enock's visa and being informed that they changed their mind on the approval. I am not going to go into the details of why nor do I really want to talk about it at all. At the end of the day (Thursday) I received a call that the case has been requested by the US consulars lawyers in Washington DC. They are going to make the decision which we will have in 30 to 90 days! Needless to say, I can't stay here that long. I now need to find a safe place for Enock to live until we can get the visa worked out. I have a lead on a Salvation Army family and am going to speak with them tomorrow. I am relieved to have a decison made but no happy with the results, it's not a denial so we still beleive this will happen. There is so much more I could and maybe should say, but I just don't feel like it right now. Pray for Enock, he is so dissapointed that we did not travel today and I can only image how the news of me going home without him will be taken. Pray for understanding for him, and hope that soon he will be in California. I am not sure when I will be home, the earliest is Sunday, but more likely Wednesday or Friday next week. I need to make sure Enock is taken care of before I worry about myself. Not sure how much more I will post, keep checking in, keep praying that God's will be done on earth just as it is in heaven. God is still at work, Michael & Enock. Blessed be your name when the road it marked with suffering, when there is pain in the offering, blessed be your name.

Dear Michael and Enoch, and Joanna, Nate and Davina:
I'm praying for a miracle that God would change the hearts and minds of all the people involved. I'm praying that HE would move them around as HE sees fit to establish HIS plans. I'm praying that HE would sustain all of you, especially Enoch, through this painful time. May HE give an abundance of peace and protection if temporary separation is part of the plan. May nothing and no one come against your family. May you all be given and receive a lot of comfort. May HIS faithfulness be evident to everyone watching. And, may HE speak undeniably into each one of your hearts at this time.
