Ready - Set - Goodbye


So it's official.  Tom will be going on ahead to England without William and I.  We still haven't heard or seen anything pertaining to the status of our passports even though we've made several calls to a few different places.  It's frustrating, but at the same time we have no control over the situation.  God is completely in control.  There's a reason for everything and even though we're not quite sure what that is right now we know that God has a better plan than the one we had planned.  

One more day and then we have to say "goodbye" again.  It wouldn't be so bad if we knew when we'd be seeing each other again, but really it could be as long as a month until Will and I are able to join him.  My prayer is that our passports come in this week yet and that next week we'll be able to be a family again.  It's been truly a blessing to be together these past couple of weeks, but it's also been bittersweet.  All of our family is in this area and it won't be until we move that we fully realize how nice it was to have them so close.  

It's time though.  We've been comfortable here for far too long.  In the last couple of months Tom and I have noticed how God has been drawing us to Him.  We've been trying to live life without him in a sense.  Even though we love the Lord and long to be like him we were still trying to control our own lives.  Looking back it seems so juvenile and silly.  Now we live each day by the grace of God and we don't make a step without him.  We can't.  It's impossible.  He is before us and behind us.  Guiding our every decision and giving us strength to make it through each situation.
