Well the paper work is in....

So after 6 months of being told that we don't have the right papers, and to wait for a few more months, they finally accepted our applications for work visas in New Zealand. Tecla and I went down to LA again (Monday 17th) to file for our visas. And of course we couldn't just walk in and give them our papers, they had us fill out the paper work again and after they took it they said we will call you if we need anything else.
So the best news is they took our papers and we are now just waiting to hear if we got the visas or not

Last night as we were at a Bible study, during worship I was reminded of Revelation 5:12 "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessings"

Through this whole process I have been reminded to give God glory. Whether I feel like it or not. It doesn't matter what I feel or think the bottom line is that Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of God cause the work is finished, and the only thing I need and have to do is give Him glory for everything that happens in my life. Whether I think it is good or bad, doesn't matter because all things work together for good to them that love God Romans 5:8

So thank you all for your continued prayers and love. May the lords will be done...

Lordy, Lordy, help me to not turn forty right now.......

Well Tecla and I went to file for our New Zealand visas again today, thank you for praying. We didn't have the right dates on some documents and even needed some new documents. So the journey continues.
Well this reminds me of a study I was at on James 1:1-3, count it all joy when you fall in to various trials.
Or even Romans 5:3 Tribulation, produces patience, patience produces character, character produces hope, and hope does not fail.
I know some of you are thinking what is the big deal you just have to go home and get the right dates and so forth. But AAAAhhhh, just a little frustrating. And I know as Hosea 2:15 says the Lord will give us a door of hope through the valley of Achor which means the valley of trouble. So as we continue this journey of just trying to get to New Zealand, and as we go through the hoops the Lord gives us a door of hope, that hope is that we don't have to worry about what happens here because it is all in His hands.
So thank you for your continued prayers, and will continue to keep you posted
Love and in Him
