Their reason? We have not been married for 5 years yet (It's been 4 a couple weeks ago). Then two weeks after we heard, our attorney in Rwanda went and had a meeting with the Minster and she said that she would reconsider - that was 5 weeks ago . . . we are still waiting. My heart hurts so much in the waiting. We are praying in hope with mustard seed faith that God will move this mountain. Our I-600A and fingerprints expire soon . . . more than that though, we are just anxious to move forward in this process.

Amazing how job maintains his integrity no matter what happens to him. ultimately the question remains... is God trustworthy???? Job found the answer and was ultimately rewarded by God with renewed blessings of all he had lost.

Too often, (I feel) people give glib answers to a person's suffering much like Job's friends--we tell a person it must be sin, you must have done something wrong, etc. <BR/><BR/>What is the meaning in suffering? Someitmes I wonder is our very suffering meant to become our greatest mission in life? To me, this is something each person has to reconcile and it is not an easy process.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for another great post.<BR/><BR/>beckyrebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739335275578339422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-1161055515462335382006-10-16T20:25:00.000-07:002006-10-16T20:25:00.000-07:00Hello there, CS.

She has continuous reflux and lives in chronic pain. Finding anything that helps is a long process. We have several specialists. And, really, it's very hard for me to watch her in so much pain. Sometimes we're able to take the edge off, but have not been able to really relieve the pain. Pain management is also something we work on.
