Still Waiting for Travel Approval


Isaiah 40:31

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.


Well, our hopes were high that we would receive official notice of travel approval from China today. However, our agency confirms nothing has arrived. All of our other online buddies with LOA (letter of acceptance) dates of 7/31 received their notices on Friday. We are still praying to be able to travel late September, early October if our TA arrives this week. We take comfort in knowing that the Lord has this trip all planned out and it won't happen until his timing is complete. He gives us strength as we long to meet our daughter.

Since we knew our weekend would be long as we awaited news , we enjoyed some time at the pool with friends and Grace and Dad took a special father daughter snorkeling trip to an area we call Phillips Dive Park. They had a wonderful time.
