No Visa again.
Apparently our agency office was open today, and there were Visas that came in, but unfortunately not ours. I didn't feel like joining the gratitude community today. I'm on #1 000 and I was simply going to give thanks for not having an ulcer yet. However, after I was reminded of the importance of giving thanks and was challenged by my dear friend on her blog, to read Psalm 100, I changed my mind.

Psalm 100
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God, it is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name. For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations."
my list continues...

sorry about no visa. I was really hoping and praying you would receive yours. You definitely are getting a lesson in patience. Hope this week goes super fast for you.
Sorry Anna, it must come next week!!!
Oh,Anna and Paul and kids. My heart is aching for you guys and I just can't believe it. I thought this week for sure. . . .
Oh how sweet that uniting is going to be!
I thought we both could use this verse:
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. Psalm 34:18
With our love and continued prayers,
The Crewsons
