I am the disciple whom Jesus loves.....

I've also been thinking of God's love for me lately. Faith and love go hand in hand. One can't happen without the other. God loves me so much, he wants only the best for me. I was thinking about this all day at work and I had such a great day. God's love is amazing. When God is for you who can be against you?

I came across this in Faith - catch it! by Scott Webb....

"You also know that anyone or anything that crosses you is crossing God! Those who oppose God usually end up at the bottom of the Red Sea or under the walls of Jericho. And those who love God and know His love for them will live out their lives in His protection. Obviously, it is a good thing to know God's love! There is nothing like it."

I've been thinking a lot about faith lately. Most of you know that I'm in the process of getting my visa and that my visit to the Embassy didn't appear to go so well. I'm still believing for a miracle and that God will make a way where there seem to be no way! The hardest part about it, for me, is having to wait..... To still be happy and to stay focused on my job while I wait... Not knowing is always hard for me. I don't like to wait. I like knowing. I like the security of knowing what's going to happen and when it's going to take place. I'm very much a "on time" person and I like everyone else to be the same....

But faith wouldn't be necessary if there was no waiting involved... right? So, I'm working on my patience... I'm determined to win this fight. I will stay in faith about this. I will not allow any negative thought or scenario to dwell in my mind. God knows I have had a few lately, but I'm casting them out. No doubt or fear is allowed! So, with this I'm encouraging myself. I choose to believe the best and that it is now my turn. This is my year for new beginnings! And I refuse to give up no matter how things look or how I feel about it. How I feel has nothing to do with it. Because we walk by faith and not by sight! I serve a big God who is also my father. Who created the heavens and the earth and everything in it. Who's yo Daddy? :)

It's Sunday....

and the rain is coming down pretty hard....which it has been doing since I left work Friday afternoon.... I was planning on running down to the gym for a workout, but I think I'm gonna skip it today and just stay inside and read where it's toasty and dry :) Running in the rain is fun as long as you have adequate clothing to wear which I don't at the moment....

US Embassy visit!

Didn't go quite like I had expected.... I was missing one form that my dad will have to fill out and send back to them. I was told it will take about 4-6 weeks to process.... The lady also doubted my qualifications to do the job as operations manager for my dad's business. Even though I have a Bachelors in Business management from TU and have had my own company for almost 4 years....

I had entered the country under false pretenses while I was a student at TU, which I didn't know until today... so I guess that explains why I kept being held up at the custom/immigration everytime I entered the country. My student visa was for Tulsa Community College and not the University of Tulsa... Anyhow, that's not a major issue, but it's forever in the system :(

I do belive, though, that God is the way maker!!! He can make a way where there is no way :) and I'm still expecting miracles to take place for me. Please pray for me right now. I need it! I'm doing my best to stay positive and to keep a smile on my face :) A person in faith is a happy person!!

This just made my day today :)

I was walking back from the gym listening to my ipod and this song comes on by Hillsong's new album - Desert song.

This part starts and I'm singing along so happy that no one else are around to hear me (lol). It just brought such joy in my heart I couldn't help but smile :)

all of my life
in every season
you are still God
I have a reason to sing
I have a reason to worship
