Truth Revealed

God revealed the truth to us today. It is not what we wanted to hear and it makes me sad, but somehow we both feel a little better.

March 21

I waited all day yesterday waiting for a woman from the college to contact me with information about Andrew and his study abroad program. I stayed busy trusting that she was working on it, and so was God. By the time we were done painting and cleaning up, it was too late to try calling her. I really sense that I am to fight as hard as I can for Andrew and trust God with the outcome. I am really at peace with that because I have truly surrendered the outcome. After I finished my quiet time this morning I was frustrated. I was disappointed that yet again I had no answers and no one was calling me back. There was this incredibly strong need to send her an email simply letting her know how disappointed and frustrated I was. I know we may not get the answer we want, but at least give us an answer and tell us why. I knew that she would not get the email until Monday and said so in my message. So, I cannot tell you how surprised I was when she sent me an email with her cell number and asked if we could talk. It was a great conversation. She confirmed that we had been lied to. It was App State that was making this decision. I had spent all this time trying to find the person who could help, so frustrated that I couldn't get an answer and no one would tell me who I could talk to. The people who made the decision would not own up it.

For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Luke 8:1

As soon as I got off the phone I called Andrew. So many of the events that took place this week make sense now. Things are a little clearer. He was relieved to hear the truth. so was I. Most likely, it is too late for Andrew to be able to stay in Japan. But God revealed the truth to us, and somehow we both feel a little better. Thank you Lord!
