Falling like Dominoes

It's been almost a year since our visa applications to Lebanon were rejected. Today we have approved visas for the UK and that means it's time to move. It's almost like dominoes. One thing falling into place makes way for another and then another. Some time back during the drought the Lord seemed to indicate that it would break in September and that is what is happening. Our waiting for direction also seems to be ending this month.What a pleasant year of waiting it has been. So many supportive friends and family members!  Thank the Lord once again!

Remembering

What we looked like back then
Last Sunday was the 10th Anniversary Memorial of 911 and the nation (and world) remembered the evil, the tragedy, the heroics, the rebuilding, and our changed lives. It was good to be reminded as we tend to forget the pain, the suffering, the resolve. It's natural that people want to move on, but it's also good to remember and to focus on what is important in life. The Lord, family, relationships and things of eternal value. Lord keep our eyes focused firmly on you and teach us to "number our days".

Our Applications are in Progress

We are busy trying to navigate the paperwork maze and requirements in order to receive Religious Worker visas for the UK. We've completed the online portion and now are working to get "biometrics" and supporting documents sent along to the Consular in New York. We are a bit unsure of ourselves in this unfamiliar process, but we trust the Lord will guide us.
