Sometimes when we are completely out of control we find ourselves at the mercy of God. It is a good place to be because we sometimes fall into a false sense that we are in control. The truth is that we are at God's mercy always. I need to be reminded of this often.
Today I heard from the personnel director at the United Mission to Nepal. The Nepali government is so busy with the war that they have yet to approve my work VISA. What does this mean?????? It means that we will not be leaving for Nepal on September 30th as planned. It means that I am reminded yet again that I am not in control and that God is.
I am tempted to get frustrated, but an e-mail from a friend this morning reminded me that this is not my plan, its Gods. This was not my idea, it is Gods.
Sometimes I feel like Noah must have. The ark is built......Where is the rain????
Please keep our VISA in your prayers and I will keep you updated on any changes.
