It's faith proving time!

Wow it's been a while. That's what no electricity will do to you.

Well, the long and the short of it is this-- I now have both the judge's ruling and order in my possession. Praise God. I am hopeful that tomorrow I will receive my recommendation letter that I need to proceed with getting Adam a passport. I do not know if everyone that I come in contact with during these new steps will be pleased with the paperwork I have--that is the risk that comes along with the territory here in Uganda. Despite this whole process taking a bit longer than I had hoped, I really have no business complaining. God is good whether I get my ruling and order fast or not. He's good whether the passport people like me and give me an expedited time frame, or not. He's even good when it looks like there might be a hang up at the US Embassy because the wording of my order isn't exactly right. I am choosing to trust that God has plans to grow my faith during these trials, and others I can face at home. James is a great and convicting book to read and hear a sermon on while here in this country, or any country for that matter.
Jesus is my sweet Savior who died on my behalf and loves me and adopted me even when I was still his enemy. How on earth could I think about complaining? But how quickly I do.

All that being said. . . I go forward tomorrow still praying that God would help things go quickly so that I can go home with Adam and settle our family into our new life together. But, if he chooses to slow things down a bit, I will pray for his grace to take it in stride. This testing is proving my faith, and how cool is that? I pray I can pass the test with joy.

Adam got to talk with the family tonight, saying everyones name loud an clear. He smiled so big and laughed and laughed. So great!
Love you family
