Horrible News

Well, here is the short of it. I am all packed and ready to go when I get just by chance go online and notice an email from my agency. Basically, the email says sorry but we forgot to take care of your visas which expire on March 20th. OOPS! Please call us as soon as possible.

I call and basically and apologized to profusely and told that the agency will cover all change fees and the Visa feess! I have plane tickets that I only paid $612 for so the change fees will be substantial as all of the other tickets I found were $2,400+.

This is a HUGE disappointment! I am just praying that I can get over to Russia next week. The agency must handle my visa and the Russian attorney must reschedule my court date.

I can't even describe how I feel right now. I am so very sad but not crying. I am angry but did not yell at the agency. I guess I am just numb right now. Yep, that's it numb.

God is in control. Please pray for a quick reschedule of this trip and pray for Zack and Sophia as I try my darndest to get to them.

I'll update when I have noteworthy news.

"...these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly,steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day!" Habukkuk 2:2-3

Deana - another PAP shared this verse with me and it helped me SO MUCH. I've shared it liberally myself, and hope maybe it will help you a little bit too. Hang in there, the end is in sight! Lisa

Hey you... You've been on my mind all day.

I'm so sorry for the delay but trust - ultimately the timing will be perfect. It can be so frustrating - not seeing all the parts of the puzzles in life! Still I know His plan will be and is perfect. That being said -- I'm sorry for the roller coaster ride of up and down emotions as delays and spurts of good news trade places with one another.

I am so relieved to read that things are smoothing out. We will continue to pray. HOLLER if we can help in any way.
