2-years of prayer answered and finally, VISA GRANTED. "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?" (Jeremiah 32:27)
Sometime back I posted that I hung my scholarship and life on this very scripture, Isaiah 58:13-14. I would not attend classes on Saturday-Sabbaths and it was not easy! especially for a double-masters degree student who was also working in Australia and raising a family simultaneously. There were days I broke down.
On Saturdays when my colleagues went to class, I chose to run around the streets of Gold Coast, along parks and bus stops placing Christian books, health pamphlets and other self-help literature. I had only 2-requests and every time during those runs, I would ask God over and over again: one of them was to remain in Australia for an extended period of time mainly to give our children exposure but more important to me, I felt my physical presence was much needed in Australia for Ministry than back home. I knew I would have the papers and could still serve my country in various ways until I return.
Anyone who is an Australia Awards Awardee knows this is difficult. Even the Australian Immigrations required hundreds of thousands of kina for my family and I to remain in Australia for the requested length of stay. Today, all our visas have been GRANTED. = ) God Yahweh has done the impossible one more time again! He had orchestrated everything in the lead up to this visa approval - it's a long story.
I am still learning about this God but one thing He has proven time and again is that He can do anything! The Bible says His word is tried and tested, it is like pure gold. What we need to ask from God is faith. No matter what the situation is, tell God and ask Him even for big things because He is a BIG GOD. Anything is possible for those who believe (Mark 9:23) and will put in the work.
