Thank-you! And 2 emails~


Thank-you all so much for your love and desire to know Johanna's story! It was so very hard to write as it made us re-live so many really hard memories. But it was also good for all of us as we wrote her story and looked through pictures and watched her videos, and we know when we share our stories of grief,loss, pain and the work towards healing we give hope to someone walking that same path!
Now, we are back to the work of waiting! Yes, the waiting at this point is NOTHING like the LONG wait we have had, but it is waiting and we have had enough of it :-)
Any moment now two emails will arrive:
One telling us that we have Final Full Visa Approval (something you can not have until every piece of your file is complete and Praise God ours is!)
And the other telling us our Visa Appointment date!
We hit the inbox button on our email so many times over and over every day that we are wearing out the keys on the computer! And, we have already made deep,real resolutions of how we will be thrilled to put the computer away and perhaps check in once a day to see how others stories are unfolding, and of course to share how our AT HOME story is unfolding and don't worry, yes~to share a picture or two now and then! :-) (BUT take that crazy app OFF my phone that beeps everytime an email arrives! UGH!!!)
We pray now to finish well and to be strong supporters for those still waiting.
Thanks so much for standing with us, you are so appreciated and loved!
Shell and Jim

  2. I have been praying that nothing will stand in the way of these processes: that the path is straight and smooth and the shortest wait possible.

  3. I can't wait for you to get "that" email! It will happen so soon! I will be praying for you in the meantime :-)
