Last week we have received a letter from immigration stating that they have received our case and it is in process.
We were told by our lawyer that the waiting period is about 90 days. I believe what that means is that we are in "line" and in about 90 days it will be our turn to review our case. However, due to some recent changes in how/where immigration is processes cases, we think that it possibly could be sooner then 90 days.
It is so good to know, and also scary that we are finally, after 22 yrs for me and 15 yrs for Troy, are in the place where final decision is going to be made.
We, as a family, are at the crossroads of our life!
If the waivers are approved I will be issued a visa and we will be able to come HOME!
If the waivers are not approved then we will have to find another place on this planet Earth, and call it home.
There is a lots of uncertainties with that. And in the past there was a lots of fear with that as well. I say in the past, because, through this experience I feel that I have truly learned to trust my Father in Heaven. I could never before say "Thy will be done!" My mind would say it, by my heart would fail. I wanted safety and stability for my family. And I felt that in my situation, if I were to say "Thy will be done" those things would be taking away. Well, I got that wrong! How grateful I am for countless miracles that we got to witness. How grateful I am that in my time of weakness, my Father in Heaven, has showed me His love for me and my family. He has in-steal my trust in Him to the degree where I feel at peace in turning my life to Him. No, my faith is not perfect, not at the list of it. But it is so much better, then it was 2 yrs ago, and for that I am grateful!
I am writing this post with a humble and a bit hesitant heart.
Humble, because you, my dear friends, are an amazing people. I look up to you and often ask "what would so and so do/say in this situation?" Thank you, for being Christ-like examples of faith and good works to me.
And hesitant, because I need to ask you something. I hope it is an appropriate request.
This Sunday, is a Fast Sunday. I know that a lot of our family and friends, who read this, are in UT. With recent fires there, I'm sure there is a lots of people who need prayers and fasting. And yet, I would kindly ask of you, who are able, will you please join me and Troy in a fast this Sunday?
We would kindly ask that in your prayers you would ask the Lord that His will, be done, for our family. And what ever the outcome, that we may know with a surety that He will take care of us, as He always had. That what ever the outcome, we will be blessed with peace, and clarity of the path that we should take.
Thank you, dear friends and family. Your prayers are always felt by us. We are grateful for your faith, and your faithfulness and your kindness to care for us enough to do this. May you be blessed in the way that you and your family stand in need of at this time in your life.
Hugs and kisses
