What are we waiting for now?

Isaiah 40:31
"But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."


We are currently waiting for our Travel Approval (TA) from China. After we received our Letter of Approval on December 2nd we had to fill out a bunch more paperwork and send it off to get Lilyia's visa, passport, etc. So, once all that is processed then china gives TA to the family. After we receive that we can travel within 2 weeks. Our Coordinator thinks we will travel the end of January or early February. If we don’t make it by then, we probably won’t go until the end of February or early March because Chinese New Year is in there and all the government offices close for 1-2 weeks during Chinese New Year. So, we are patiently waiting for our TA (or not so patiently waiting). It’s hard to be patient when I look at her beautiful pictures, but I know it is God's timeline not ours. We are coming soon Lilyia!

    Yes, God's time is always best, even though it may be hard to see at the time!
