Zee, Naggie, LL...........I feel like bawling a flood ....

..... thank you for the encouragement, I just can't say it enough.
I am so worried about Stephen, he has not been himself ever since the robbery yesterday and he is just still in shock and will start to travel
late tonight from his home town to the capital and then fly out to Dakar and pick me up at the airport on Monday 5am.
I talked to him twice today and he can hardly speak he is so shook up. He totally broke down on the phone yesterday many times. He is afraid.....so many bad memories are flooding him....and fear of more attacks.
How is he supposed to focus on his interview in such a state ? Please continue to pray for him to have peace and that the fear will leave him and that the joy will return.
Oh just 2 more days and 3 more nights and I will hug him and hold him and won't let go. I hope he will be ok then, enough to function for the CO.
It is almost as though he has given up on life itself sometimes.

Harness your energies Omoba. Do as much meditation as you can so that you can be in full control. He is going to need your energy now to lift him up. This is why God has man take a wife. He'll be okay, he just needs you now helping him through it. Don't speak anymore negative words. It gives them life. Focus on only the positive and the good coming in your life and empower yourselves to trust completely that the Lord has only blessings waiting for you. Bind any evil in the name of the Almighty and loose it from your lives to make room for God's blessings. No man can destroy what is already preordained. This is yours only for you to faithfully claim it in the name of our Saviour. Speak it with your lips and believe it with your heart and your mind.
And get your butt on here asap and let us know everything is okay!

That confirms exactly what God laid on my heart and I have been doing some spiritual warfare for 2 days now, losening and binding
big time.
If anyone hears me through a window they would think I lost my mind.
You are right on target with speaking negativity and confessing blessings. Words take on a supernatural life that will affect everything.
The wise thing you said about lifting him up confirms to me what I am also feeling.
I can't cry in front of him, he needs me to be strong for him and you guys are here for me to vent and keep me positive.
I love you all.........
I should be back online April 18 by God's grace to post visa in hand in Jesus name, Amen !

You will be in my prayers Omoba. How exciting for you! There will be alot of relief for both of once you are in each others arms again. Its ok to cry a little. When I was with my husband and was catching him up with family news and I started thinking of my brother Michael who was murdered last year...and my heart just let it all out. My husband didnt get a chance to meet him. It felt good to cry in his arms because I finally felt ok to let it out in front of someone. When I was here with my family I had to be strong but finally I could let it out with someone other than God and feel it was to lose it for minute. But I think in your case there not be bittersweetness

just a few tears and lots of lovin'

Omoba,
You will be there with him soon. I know it is so hard right now and he is extremely shaken up. But in a few days you will be there with him in Dakar and all will be better. I believe that you will receive the Visa after this interview. If anyone has ever deserved it, you and Stephen do! You have been through so much! But, it will all be much sweeter because of what you endured to get to this point.
Go with God! Keep us updated from Dakar if you can, but if not, we will all be waiting for your news upon your return!

Efia, I am so sorry about your brother.
Stephen's younger brother was also killed 3 month after I went to see him.
He was a nice young man full of ambition.
Another hiccup happend today with the trip. He was unable to get the tickets to Dakar for Sunday and now I will be there
2 days before he arrives. Too long of a story to go into.......this is Africa as Stephen always says.
Thanks to VJ member Taurean, I have her husbands family to watch over me while I am there alone.

Thanks O and Im sorry about your brother in law. 2 days so close yet to far from your hubby.....that is torture! haha. but it will all work out. the reunion will be sweeter. Sorry about your panic attack. I had one on the plane when we had that bad turbulance that I talked about in another post, but the funny thing was I did not have it during crisis I had one the minute we landed 4 hrs later!...i got all clammy and nauseous and swore I was having a heart attack (which is how mine manifest) I got really scared when it started to go black. thankfully I had an anxiety pill on me for the occassions I cant talk myself out of the attacks. Everything will be ok. You sound at the end of your rope and that is when God steps in so you have no doubts its only through him you made it. You will have a blast once you are there.

Hey girl!!
Of course we missed you. I thought you might be busy with a new baby. I'm glad you've made so much progress on that front. Good luck! Mommyhood is no joke. Enjoy! I hope to be partying in August as well.....with my boo in tow! I would love to lose weight, but the whole exercising and eating less doesn't seem to click with me.....
We don't have our interview until the end of June. It'll be more than a year by the time we finally get to interview. I certainly didn't expect it to take this long. But, I'll survive. Otherwise, just waiting, waiting, waiting.
