Due to circumstances out of our control (and that I can't post), our kids are NOT coming home this Wednesday. They are hopefully coming home this Friday.
God's word is true: my heart - and my stomach - feel sick. We are so incredibly disappointed. And not just because we have to wait two days to see our kids - that is actually the easier part.
The hard part is that Jason's dad already bought a flight to fly to Chicago from Dallas just to be there when the kids come home. Our brother-in-law just rented a 15 passenger van for their whole family, my dad, my brother, my mom and her husband to all drive together to Chicago to be there with us. Our friends, the Scotts, were planning to leave tonight to start the trek to Chicago with their two young kids. Jason's mom and husband made plans to be there. Two other friends made plans to make the drive to be there. And one friend in Chicago was planning to be there. Everyone made arrangements with work and others to be gone and be at the the airport this Wednesday.
God created the heavens and the earth. He gives us life and breath and everything else. He is fully in control of all things. This change of plans is no surprise to Him. And he is aware of the heartache it has created. So, we are trying to cling to Him and trust that He is working this out for His purposes.
Please pray for an approval to be available tomorrow so that new plane tickets can be bought for later this week.
