Hope Does Not Disappoint!!!

"With men this is impossible, but with GOD all things are possible." -Matthew 19:26
Nadeem and I had a really tough day yesterday. We came before God together repeatedly to cast our worries and discouragement on Him and to ask for His strength. We felt that we faced many more days of waking up with no hope of good news since the weekend is starting in the US and our fingerprints are sitting in Texas waiting to be FedEx'd yet again.
God showed us this morning that in Him we have hope every single day! Guess what?!?! As of yesterday (Friday), Texas suddenly was able to process the prints!!! Someone in that office knew what to do! Charles Spry at Senator Isakson's office contacted my mom and us to let us know that on Friday the worker was supposed to scan and upload the prints into the database that the FBI can access on Monday! They will then run the prints on the computer (sounds like fast work to me!)and put the results in a database that the USCIS in Atlanta can access. Then they'll send the great news to the embassy here in Dhaka, Bangladesh so that we can get the visa!!!!! Senator Isakson's office is following up with all the offices involved in finishing this process. He said that he is finally "cautiously optimistic" that the approval will come this week!
Kalina turns 5 months old in two weeks. On an earlier blog I shared about a dream I had which I thought might mean that God planned to deliver us when Kalina was 4 months old. We're hearing that it could be tight to get us home in two weeks. With God all things are possible! When it's the appointed time, no force will be able to prevent God from delivering us. We are so thankful for your words of encouragement and prayers! We can't wait to see all of you!!! Please join us in thanking God, the senator's staff, and my mom for helping us!
