I can't even begin to imagine your frustration as my biggest downfall is that I want things fixed before they even break. I know God has everything in hand and planned, but His timing is so difficult sometimes. We'll continue to pray for your return home (soon we pray)! Abby and I just returned home from Kentucky yesterday. She went on a college visit and we got to spend time with the wonderful Kentucky friends we made while in Haiti. We saw first hand UK and even watched the game you spoke of. UK fans are crazy (in a good way)!<BR/>Will pray for all to fall in place! ~Deb~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321827034168877068.post-40219206087777756382007-10-05T17:04:00.000-07:002007-10-05T17:04:00.000-07:00Hi Becky,I read your blog often and I'm sorry to h...Hi Becky,<BR/>I read your blog often and I'm sorry to hear about this new delay (uggh). My files were released from MOI to immmigration about last week too. We are waiting for passports. Would you mind emailing me the name of the doctor you used for Kerwin's physical? My O director says she knows no doctors who will do the physical before passports are in hand, and we really would like to forward his name to her (even though he made a crucial mistake with your case). Thanks so much!<BR/>Kristie (tallfrys @ yahoo.com) and http://tallsmallfryfamily.blogspot.comThe Tall Frys & Small Fryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819517066386061870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321827034168877068.post-39362336352221793192007-10-05T16:18:00.000-07:002007-10-05T16:18:00.000-07:00Becky,Well, I got my hair cut after work. If you ...Becky,<BR/>Well, I got my hair cut after work. If you could see it now, you would laugh your head off. I have been scalped on top and the back looks like a goat chewed it off while I was in Haiti. It is all I can do to get it to lay down and not stick straight up all over. <BR/>I hope Kerwin isn't frightened by it when he sees me again. I didn't ask her to cut it this short. She just did it. <BR/>When Rachel sees it, she will probably laugh harder than she did when I turned it green.<BR/><BR/>Your frustrations are understandable. You have been storing them up for quite a while. Go ahead and rant. Any of us who have seen it (haiti) first hand have no idea how you have been able to be as patient as you have been. Just a little while longer sweetheart. You can do it.<BR/>Oh by the way, I have taken up the habit of writing haiti with a lower case h. Upper case H's are reserved for proper names and there is nothing proper about haiti. <BR/>Talk with you later.<BR/>My love to you all.<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321827034168877068.post-73725872341705174152007-10-05T15:46:00.000-07:002007-10-05T15:46:00.000-07:00Rebecca,It has been in the last few months that I ...Rebecca,<BR/>It has been in the last few months that I have begun to understand (or should I say accept) the hardships, frustration, and suffering one must endure in a life sold out to Christ. I often sense that those who endure in faithfulness are being prepared for something greater. <BR/><BR/>We didn't have a lot of time together but from the beginning I have been so impressed. Your life speaks so loudly, I believe, of all that is on the heart of God. <BR/><BR/>You have litterally given up months of your life to come and to love an orphaned child. Knowing full well and accepting that you would not return to your life, your job, your family, until he could come with you. You have made his wants, needs, and entire life your focus and priority. <BR/><BR/>Through heartache, frustration, and lonliness you have remained faithful. I am so proud of you and have learned so much, not only from conversations with you, but from watching you live. <BR/><BR/>What is more, I count it all loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I might gain Christ and be found in Him...

It is just SO FRUSTRATING and annoying trying to get ANYTHING done in Haiti...my mom sat in immigration waiting to pick up passports and in about 30 minutes 7 staff drank an entire(large) bottle of Rum(43%alcohol) NO WONDER nothing ever gets done on time, or even reasonably late...the other office was dancing around and the men were flirting with the woman and they were pigging out on food..THIS is why these kids sit for years waiting to go HOME..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321827034168877068.post-16471925663565617842007-10-05T07:32:00.000-07:002007-10-05T07:32:00.000-07:00Becky, Mike and Kerwin,It's good to know you are a...Becky, Mike and Kerwin,<BR/><BR/>It's good to know you are all together now! JOY :>)<BR/><BR/>Becky,<BR/>Sorry for yet another delay. You are right, it is beyond our understanding of why things are the way they are but know that our God above sees the whole picture and is weaving your paths to come home right now. You have done wonderfully well in being patient and focusing on your son's happiness, well being and education. These past few months are just a little paragraph when compared with the life you have ahead. Hang on just a little longer and you all will soon be taking the best plane ride ever! <BR/><BR/>We love you and are holding you all up in prayer! <BR/><BR/>love<BR/>Don and KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
