take a break to praise

So yeah, the last time I sat down to write was about 3 months ago. What a whirlwind life I lead - but let me take a moment in the eye of the storm to praise the Lord for what He has done!!

JAVI IS A US RESIDENT!

You're probably thinking "That's great!! (but what does that mean??)"
- drivers license
- work visa
- insurance
- freedom to come and go in and out of the US as desired for the next 2 yrs
- no worries about grumpy immigration officers or cops detaining him
- a right to all the freedoms that you and i enjoy every day!

"Wow, Michelle! How did that happen?"
- We worked through the Open Doors Immigration Service to prepare a strong documented case that we are actually married. We signed a lot of paperwork and answered a lot of questions.
- We sent these documents to US Immigration at the beginning of August. Javi received directions to get his SS number, work visa, fingerprints, etc and then we received our interview date.

We prepared with our lawyer and then went to the interview. It was a lot easier than we expected and after hardly no wait, he was approved!


Thank You Jesus for showing us the way, helping us to do things well, and to follow your voice in each step. Thank You for preparing the way for us and for being so faithful as to care for Your children always!
