As it gets closer and closer to my day of departure, it would mean the world to me to have extra prayer in some specific areas.
1. We plan to buy our plane tickets on Tuesday, for August 18th; Prayer that the ticket prices would be $900 or below
2. Also that my visa would come in time, or even early so that we can feel at peace. As of now it is supposed to arrive the first or second week of August, so we are cutting it close.
3. Funds. I have been working that past 6 months trying to raise the money for my missions schooling, I am about 60% of the way to my goal but still need to raise around $1500 more. It has been amazing how God has opened up doors for me in Colorado, Nanny jobs left and right, as well as dog sitting, and watering peoples plants while they are out of town. Each week I feel like God has opened up another door. How Awesome is He.
For those of you who have been praying for my dad, We got the bone scans back and the cancer has not spread from what they can tell! Hallelujah! He is going to be starting hormone treatment on Monday which is going to be a struggle as the symptoms are like a woman going through menopause: gaining 20lbs, hot flashes, mood swings, crying. We have been able to find the humor in it though, laughing that if he starts crying we are just going to feed him chocolate and a bottle of wine. Although we have found some answers, it doesn't eliminate the fact that he still has an aggressive form of cancer. As a family we have been coping well but we do all have our days where it just hits you like a 5 ton of bricks. So prayer for comfort, and trust in God, as well as healing
And like I said, as it gets closer to the date, just prayer that everything goes smooth, the biggest thing is that my visa arrives on time, Which buying our tickets in advance is a test of faith. But I do believe that God wants me in Norway so some way or another, I will get there.(Hopefully in time for the Wedding)
I am just so ecstatic about the things God has been doing and the people he has put in my life. The comforting words and prayer from our wonderful neighbors, as well as everyone at church, I just feel so blessed that my Dad has a support system like that. So thankful for each and everyone of you, whether you be a friend of mine or my parents.
My heart is so grateful for all of your love and support. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)
