Archival Extraction

Bummer news of the week:  a file has to be extracted form the archives before we can get out of IBESR.
I don't have any idea of what the archives in Haiti looks like, but that sounds daunting and LONG to me.Frustration set in rapidly this week and was quickly followed by grumpiness and maybe even a little feeling of depression.  The feeling of being separated from two people you have grown to love, and of not being able to help bring you back together is harder then I imagined .  

Excellent news of the week:  This is all accounted for in God's plan to bring you home.  This week I was reminded by my best friend that God appointed your homecoming day long ago-even before I knew you would ever be a part of my life.  He has set aside the right time and life situation for you to arrive in Virginia.  For Him to give in to my desires right now would be akin to a mom giving in to a toddler who can't see, know, or understand that there is something much better in store.  So today I am thankful that God loves (and you!) me enough to not give me what I want, rather he gives me what He has deemed best.    What a mighty God we serve.
