well let me start off this delightful post by saying that i miss you. and i loved the chance to see half of you last weekend, so good to hear about what's going on in your lives. i also shared a bit of where my heart was at and what the plans are for the future, but for those of you that weren't there, let me enlighten you. after being in new york i decided to go back, you all know that. since that time, i've been working at home with the dreaded turkeys and chickens, and waiting for my VISA to go back to new york under the status of 'religious worker'. that VISA hasn't yet come. today was supposed to be the day that i depart and join the likes of ryan wood, the kims, and ARLAN in new york. buuut instead i continue my endless pursuit of raising plump chickens and doing an excellent job of cleaning the barns when they depart for better days. this whole time...ahh i don't even know. it's frusterating. and such a huge test in trust. which i think i'm not doing a hugely great job of yet. maybe this is a huge lesson to learn, but dang i don't wanna be here anymore. so prayer would be sweet, and greatly appreciated. i've been checking the status of my visa online (at least twice a day) and the last update we got was when the government sent it back to us, requesting more evidence. basically they probably think i'm a terrorist and don't belong. so the last update was on february 16th, and it's probably sitting on somebody's desk right now. please pray.
love you all
miss you lots
