Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
The Lord gave me this Scripture on New Year's Eve. I have pondered in my heart so many times over the last several days as I have prayed for word from the Embassy.
Every time I would think the approval won't come because of this or that circumstance the Lord lovingly brought this Word back to my heart.. "He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.." Nothing is too hard for our God. He is so good and loving that He even wants to comfort me and direct me when I take my eyes off of His power and look on my human circumstances.
So, I want to give HIM all the praise and honor and glory for He has made a way!!
Jim called and our I600 approval will be ready at the end of the day. Thank you JESUS!!!
We are awed, and humbled, and simply overjoyed.
Thank you so much for the love and the prayers..

God is so cool. Renee, I swear on a Bible, that is the same verse I had on my heart the past 2 days. It sits on my frig and I thought of you everytime I saw it.
I don't know why, but I like the other version of it "exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." Something about exceeding my thoughts that thrills me.
Congratulations!!
