Trying times...

At the request of the medical assessor, Billy has arranged for Graham to be evaluated by a developmental pediatrician, a physician we never knew existed.  Amazingly, the appointment is Monday! We've been told that upon receipt of the requested paperwork it will still be another 2-3 weeks before we hear another update. With the contract on our new house expiring November 1st in NZ (which is Sunday here) we've had to request a 3 week extension. Three more weeks of limbo!!!
Stressed out is such and understatement. I think we've both reached the state of delirium. I don't know how Billy is even functioning. His mom is in the hospital and, if discharged, will be in hospice care. She is dying of Parkinson's and has deteriorated so quickly, unable to talk, walk or even eat. Bless her, she can only move her eyes.  For mercy's sake, we pray God takes her soon.
Billy and I both still have an overwhelming sense that we are still going to NZ.  Neither of us can figure out exactly HOW but, somehow, we KNOW we're going.  And when I can step out of the chaos and take a deep breath, I feel an excitement in the anticipation of seeing God work it all out.
This morning I felt God placed a message on a church message sign just for us. It read, "In trying times, don't quite trying."
