Please Pray - We Could Use a Blessing

As I mentioned a couple months back, it was revealed to us that we had been overpaying a certain department in the government for the last seven years. I always wondered why this department didn't audit us! LOL!! Because they were quite happy thank you!!! LOL!!

When this overpayment was revealed to us it was by an accountant. The first one we had ever hired. I find the timing very mysterious. This could have been found any time over the last seven years, or anytime in the future. The fact that this was revealed 2 days before we were to go through court - I consider that there is a miracle at hand here.

We have waited for two months for our accountant to get on with this. Unfortunately, it was tax season so they had to finish those first. Quite understandable. But now they have begun working through this they have discovered it is a bit of a tangle. And then they were held up by long weekends. I just want them to get on with it and sort it out!

I am not the least bit concerned. I know that this can, and I expect will, work for our good. If they agree to return all of this money to us it will most likely cover the outrageous August airfares that we are likely to be hit with. With four of us flying out, and six returning, we are talking about $16,000 in airfares. That is based on fares 3 weeks ago. I was looking today, and some of the flights are creeping up over the $3,500 mark! Thankfully! my sister in law is a travel agent and is able to get us some deals. (And that will include you too, D, if you do come with us!)

But she has said to me that the flights are really booking up. Unfortunately, we cannot know ahead of time when we need to book for.

On one hand, I want to book for August 18 or 19, the second our oldest son walks in the door, as that will be eight and a half weeks waiting for Visa, so I am sure it will be in. And if we don't book in advance then we are looking at even higher rates. But on the other hand, the flights drop by hundreds or even a thousand dollars per person if we wait til the first week in September.

I am not stressing about this. I am just beginning to 'look' into dates. I know God is in control and He will make it quite clear to me what I am to do when the time is right.

But in the meantime, please pray that the government shines favour on us and very quickly reimburses our money with no hassles. This would be greatly appreciated!!
