so good

What an amazing difference a single day can make.

Our agency (WACAP) emailed me late yesterday to tell me that they had made a request on our behalf to our state for our clearances. And that our state (bless their hearts!) had agreed to do our clearances on. the. spot.

Unbelievable.

Then, our agency called USCIS and spoke to the officer handling our case. She explained the situation and he agreed to accept faxed copies of our clearances, which she then faxed to him immediately.

Which means that our case is back on track to being approved.

God is so good. And He is so good to sinful, undeserving me.

But for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in His wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture. ~ Malachi 4:2

    congratulations!! also, my husband traveled alone to get our daughter (nearly 2 at the time) with fantastic foster family. I was home with the miracle God surprised us with who was only 10 wks old. Jason came home with our Lily. He probably didn't do everything just right– neither would I have. But God brought the spirited 2 home in one piece. I pray the same for you.
