Over the past two weeks I have called many, many 'officials' and seemed to be getting nowhere. No one was making any progress and no one would return a call. My friend gave me a whole list of numbers of people who had important titles and direct lines to their desks. I talked to one of them, and she couldn't help me - but pointed me to another that should be able to help. I got lots of voicemail and no call backs. By 5:00 I was so ready to just hang it up. I was frustrated, angry and wallowing in self-pity. My CFGM encoouraged me to call the original office (Office A) one more time to see if I could get someone to help me. For whatever reason - I did. Who knew that there was a night shift and that the compassionate people work then?
I talked to a very nice lady who was very helpful and quickly directed me to my new friend Ben. Ben looked up my cable and said everything was in it including the 'missing document'. It had always been there. The missing document was towards the end - but it was there. However - he assured me he would be happy to re-cable the file within a few minutes. Sure enough - within 15 minutes CFGM told me that the A5 was signed and ready to be picked up.
Hmmm - if only Office B had used RULE #9 and looked at the whole scan!
Oh well - on to the next step.
...And you may ask yourself - What is that beautiful house? And you may ask yourself - Where does that highway go? And you may ask yourself - Am I right? ...am I wrong? And you may tell yourself - My God!...what have I done? (Talking Heads, 1980)
Nine years ago Mark and I set off on a journey. It was a journey that would embed the children of China into our hearts forever and teach us that God's plan is WAY better than our plan. It has been a journey into faith, obedience and abundant blessings. Over the past nine years we have seen God's hand at work in our lives as we traveled through the wilderness in search of His plan for our lives upon this earth. In April of this year God revealed the next chapter of the Lucas story. Join us as we embark once again on another leg in this Marvelous expedition.

THIS JUST MAKES ME CRY!
GOD is so GOOD !
Ya know BEN is just a great name,too. ;)
Start packin' Little Lucas! Mama's comin'!
One never knows if it's time to laugh or cry... Ben is probably about to become really popular as it sounds like he could possibly be the only working being over there at Office A.
I may be obtuse but who does CFGM stand for?
