A slight change of plans......

WOW!!!! What a difference a couple days makes!! I said I was going to share the entire experience with you guys so I have some new developments. We're still going........it's just gonna take a bit more time for me and the children. Qatari laws are SO STRICIT!!! Ville's visa should be done soon. Ours......not so much. They have changed somethings over the last few months which were not required before, so it has added delays on everything. What we are looking at now is that he may fly over on the 17 for sure because new teachers start on the 21, and we will join him once our paperwork is finalized. Talk about sad. That is an understatement. We wanted to all fly over as a family. But in my husbands words, "everything will work out the way it is supposed to babe." So, I need to practice patience right?

In the mean time, we are still preparing. Furniture is being picked up. As well as everthing else that won't be making the flight over. God has it all worked out. He is in control and His plan is best. What I won't do is let setbacks get me down. Imma still smile and expect the best. There are other developments that are brewing as well.....but I can't get into all that right now. I will share when the time is right. I appreciate you all. Thanks for sharing in on our adventure.   

Know that I love ya! Mean it!

  6. The Call of Abram
    12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.

    2 “I will make you into a great nation,
    and I will bless you;
    I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.[a]
    3 I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;
    and all peoples on earth
    will be blessed through you.”[b]
