It’s September! I don’t know if things are going fast or slow. Sometimes it feels like it’s way too fast, sometimes way too slow.
David and I are starting some new things from September, which is very exciting. First of all, David is starting his computer repair business because his hours at Jesus Film project got cut down to half. He’s really good at fixing computers. I can’t give you any furthur descriptions about how good he is or what he can do because I have no idea, but I know he’s really good and a lot of people have called him a genius or hero or something like that after he fixed their computers. So if you ever need a hero who can fix all your (computer) problems, you should call him up. We are hoping and praying that this will work out.
And God opened the door for me to take Bible classes at a nearby Calvary Chapel from next week. SEND requires the spouse to have some Bible education too, and I found some of their requirement classes offered there. I’m going to be taking Systematic Theology, Hermaneutics, and Biblical Counseling. I’m very, very excited and thankful for this opportunity because I’ve been having a little bit of a hard time finding things to do during the day lately since I’m still waiting for my work permit (probably for another couple months). Also, I will try and get a permit and start practicing driving. I’m taking the test next Wednesday. It’s all very exciting.
For the immigration stuff, I received a letter from USCIS last week telling us to come to an interview in October. They also told me to bring a bunch of documents to prove my eligibility to apply for a green card. It’s nice to see that things are in progress, but it also makes me think; “Just how many times do they have to see my birth certificate to be sure?” This will be the fourth time. But that’s just how it works, and all is good, because God’s in control of this situation.
I want to share this verse from my devotions. 1 Timothy 6:17 “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everthing for our enjoyment.” It reminded me that God is the provider and that He provides us with not just what we need to barely get by, but “everything for our enjoyment”. And this is certain. Uncertainness always makes me anxious and so many things seem uncertain to me right now. But then this verse reminded me that God’s provision and love is the only thing that is certain and I’d always be anxious if I kept trying to make uncertain things certain.
OK, I’m gonna make lunch now. Hope you all have a nice week!
