It's been almost 9 years now since Ive been apart from my daughter. We've been trying to get her over here with us but the process takes forever. We are hoping and praying that in less than a year she would finally be with us. I know she couldn't wait to give her little brother a big hug and a kiss.
For a mom, its been a dreadful 9 years to be apart from your child that long. But God is good. He sustained me from the my longing to be with her. I thank God for my mom and my brother and sisters who took care of her for me.
"No temptations has overtaken you except what is common to man, And God is faithful, He will not let you get tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it"
1 Corinthians 10:13

I'm so sorry you've been separated from your daughter. I can't even imagine! That verse is a great reminder, I had a rough morning, and although it was nothing in comparing to what you've gone through with your daughter, it's a great reminder that God is there with us.

That verse in 1 Corinthians is so encouraging! Its one of my favorites. In this dark world, its comforting to know that God will always pull your through whatever you're going through. He provides just enough for us to endure. And in the process of going through our trials, we learn to lean more heavily on him, such as what you're doing. I'm praying for you lovely, that is such a hard thing to have to be away from your daughter for so long.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your thoughtful comment on my last post as well. You couldn't have put it better...it IS torture! I keep being tormented by the thought that I won't find someone like him again. Thoughts such as "Have I missed out?" But I just have to fully trust God with everything, even my desires. He knows what I want, and more importantly, what I need. So at least I can find peace in that. A quote that's stuck with my lately is: "Worrying is telling God you don't trust Him."

You just totally put some of my struggles in perspective. Praying for you to be reunited very soon. Keep the faith, it will happen.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to have your daughter back soon. Sending positive thoughts your way
ReplyDeleteYour daughter will be happy to be back with such a beautiful mom, it is just time testing but everything will be great for you and your daughter.

Unfortunately I know all about what you are going through. My family is originally from Mexico and even when my mom first came here, she had to leave us until she could arrange for us to come over. This happens so much and so many families are separated. I can't believe how many years it has taken you. And I do hope and pray that soon your little girl will be with you.
ReplyDeleteLove your dress dear! you are so beautiful! xo!
ReplyDeletePray and hope for you! xo!
DeleteLove the ruffle dress:)And I'm sorry for the loss, time will heal the pain. My love goes out to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteHugs & Kisses,

I hope you get to be with her again soon xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteSuch a touching story and I'm so glad your daughter is almost with all of you. You look great and she'll be so happy to be reunited with you once again. God speed!
ReplyDeleteThe time shall pass fast! I can only imagine how how the last 9 years have been for you! Wishing you a wonderful reunion!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that would indeed be hard! I can't imagine and I hope for you the very best and that you see her soon!
