To update everyone on Mackenzie's journey.
We are still waiting and I'm learning a lot through this patience process. Not for a second do I think he won't come, but the timing is not for me to know. My job is to trust God to make straight this path. In my life, I've sure known the joy of waiting and trusting, yet I continue to learn!
God is better than the best parent you can imagine! If something is good for is, he says YES! enthusiastically. Thus, Mackenzie coming skiing wasn't the best for him. As I sit in Telluride taking a day of rest and waiting for the snow to pile up so we can get back on the slopes tomorrow, I rest in the fact that what is best for Mackenzie was to be in Haiti this week!
Technically in the process this is where we are: waiting on his mothers birth certificate to be legalized (this is anticipated to be completed today), then we have to apply for an electoral card for his mother (should take 3 day), then apply for passport (should take 2 weeks), then apply for visa, and finally have visa appointment! Please continue to pray that this process go quickly and every application is received with favor!
In the last blog, we all prayed for a miracle. In my small mind, the miracle looked like him coming skiing with us. The Lord sweetly reminded me last week of the Israelites. They asked for a king and in their minds a king would come in the form of a military conquerer, but in God's great Sovreignty, he sent a Savior King! This King came in the form of a infant born in a manager to bring salvation or the entire world. His sovereign goodness stretched far beyond simply the Israelites, it stretched to the world. I'm trusting the Lord's sovereign goodness to stretch far beyond a ski trip to Colorado and reach more than we could think or imagine!
Thanks for partnering with us in this journey! Be expecting updates to follow as we take steps closer to Mackenzie being in Birmingham!
