God’s Timing Ain’t Always Our Timing

(Brady) We had our visa interview for Manny this morning. It went as well as could be expected. However, they plan to do some investigating into Manny’s past before he came to be with us. This could be brief, but the man said he hasn’t seen anything be quicker than 3 weeks!! We really don’t know what to say or do at this point. We knew that there was a possibility we could experience lengthy delays when we decided to stay. Having said that, we aren’t sorry that we have decided to stay for this long considering his living conditions before our arrival.

So, we have a couple options:

1-We can all stay in Ghana and wait out an indefinite amount of time

2- We can do as the Embassy suggested – “leave him here and go back to America to wait it out” – Brutal!

3- Brady can come home by himself and get back to work

We are even seriously considering going to other countries that allow visitation without a visa for Ghanaians – for instance, the Bahamas. For now, we are going to get the Embassy the few things they asked us to get them and pray that things play out quicker than we anticipate. Hopefully, we will be the exception to the 3+ week timeframe, and we won’t have to consider any other options. Please continue to pray for the timing of the process and guidance for our decisions on handling the situation. God is always good, and his timing is always perfect.
