Praise God!
Seriously. Do it. Right now! Cause He is worthy! I am trying to remind myself of this as I go about this day, still unbelieving that only 24 hours ago I was still just praying that God would give me my Indian visa, eventually, and utterly resigned to the fact that I'd have to move my flight.
NOT ANYMORE!
For the Lord is able to do more than we ask or imagine!
I went into the High Commission yesterday in faith that God was doing something bigger than myself, just hoping that they would be able to hurry up the process if they knew that I was putting the pressure on! Well, upon arrival to the High Commission, which was blessedly much less busy than the previous visit, (and surprisingly air conditioned...they must have read my last post! :)) I stood in line a while, was asked to have a seat while they checked, and then called up to the counter to be informed....
"your visa is ready. You can submit your passport tomorrow."
Hallelujah!
I decided to bite the bullet and try to get into the visa centre to submit my passport right away, and with a few phone calls and some more waiting, they accepted my passport and fee (of course, they WOULD accept the fee!) and told me it would be ready by Tuesday at 5 pm. Seriously, this is two days before it was supposed to come through!
As the Lord teaches me more and more about having faith in Him, I am amazed that He continues to make it practical by proving His absolute sovereignty in my life. I read in Colossians today, "and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority." It is hard to believe, but absolute truth, that the Lord has control over all of the rules of this world! Nothing has power except that which has been given from above! How awesome to think...the basic principles of this Earth are falsehood in comparison to the truth of God's reign...how can we consider ourselves withheld, controlled, in any way? This is sweet freedom.
Thank you for your prayers, my wonderful friends! I have never felt so wrapped in the support of so many people from across the world. I can offer nothing in return except my own heartfelt prayers in return, asking the Lord to pour a blessing upon your life for blessing mine!
Tomorrow shall be the great bus adventure to Singapore (2 hrs to Kuala Lumpur + 6 hrs to Singapore + 3 hrs flight to Bangalore + 1 hr taxi ride to Green Valley = a long day! (and a sore bum!)) but today remains a day of rejoicing and peace. And I just might go eat some brownies to celebrate. Thanks, LORD. (for visas and brownies alike...<3)
