It's easy to think that this story is about me, since my life is being impacted by every event. But, this story actually has a far greater hero! After all, I would not be doing this if it were not for God sending me, providing for me, and guiding my steps. His plans are the ones I am following and His story is being told through the adventures that await me. The details of travel arrangement, packing the right things in my suitcases, getting my room ready to be a guest room again, and all the other minutiae are just the background for the real story. God is working and we are witnesses of His might!
Christmas morning is over very quickly when you compare it to the anticipation building up to the opening of presents and eating feasts with friends and family. I remember when I was a kid, I would be so excited for Christmas and then I'd be surprised at how quickly the day went. The same could be said for getting a visa. The anticipation is overwhelming--usually right before calling the consulate, because today might be the day. When it is the day, suddenly there's a flurry of emails about tickets, plans for packing, getting last minute things, writing a prayer letter update, and, of course, saying goodbye.
