Motion Sickness

My husband loves roller coasters. I, on the other hand, do not. And this week has been nothing but a big ol' series of emotional roller coaster rides. We learned early in the week that our TA had been sent from China and we should receive it by the weekend, most likely traveling on June 19. Yes, we had already discussed potential travel dates, as our agency was trying to get our consulate appointment scheduled before the new TB testing begins on July 1. We were elated... nearly skipping about the house. (OK, maybe not skipping, but close.) I was mentally "there".... planning to get all of my work projects done, finish all the packing and go bring our girl HOME!!

We found out just two days later that our agency was given incorrect information. In fact, our TA has not yet been granted and it is not known when it will be, leaving us to speculate if the C*CAA is purposely holding up TAs for a specific (yet unknown) reason. Maybe it might happen next week, maybe not... we just don't know. And between the potential of getting quarantined upon arrival due to someone having a fever on the airplane and now the added risk of getting a delayed departure due to the TB testing, I am just in a funk. Please forgive me. I know God is sitting in the driver's seat and that He has everything under control and all will be well in the end. I really do. And this is just a disappointment, not a tragedy, but I am just a bit overwhelmed with all the unknowns right now. So, I'm going to take a few days away from the computer. I just want to enjoy and appreciate all of God's blessings in my life. And then maybe I'll come back with a better outlook to welcome in the new week.

And BTW, my husband really does love roller coasters. (See Nolan waving in green jacket.)
