Today
started off with gratefulness at 1:30 am.
I
woke up randomly in the middle of the night and checked my watch- 1:27 am, plus
8 equals 9:27 am in Finland. Cristian’s
appointment for a visitor’s visa at the US embassy was scheduled at 9:30
am. I froze, undecided if I should
message him right at that moment- there’s an entire page of dos and don’ts for
visiting the embassy and I didn’t want him to get a notification at just the
wrong time.
So,
instead, I prayed that whoever listened to him and received his paperwork would
grant the visa. And then, just a few minutes after 1:30, I decided that it
would be safe to message him because his phone should be locked in a locker by
then. When I turned on my phone I saw I
already had a message from him, received at 1:30 on the dot. One word.
Approved!
So,
now my heart sings, skips, and jumps with thankfulness. Guess who will be spending Christmas with my
family and I?
