Rejoice !

Visa process for the pastor in Tokyo has restarted.

We were happy to hear that the lawyer said
that he would get to it immediately.

However, since then, he hasn't contacted us for anything for a while,
which made me wonder if he has been really working on it.

I have called him to verify it,
but he has been unavailable, being either in a interview or in a meeting
when I called him a couple of times a day.
I was discouraged by it.

When I told my husband about that
he said I should call the lawyer the first thing in the morning the following day,
and noontime and on the afternoon of the same day,
and that I should not let it carry over the following week.

I don't like to be persistent with people at all,
and it has become a pain in the neck.

However, I have rejoiced in that circumstance, and prayed about it.
My mind has been changed
not to worry about people and not to fear them.
Right away I have picked up the phone and called the lawyer.

His helpful assistant answered me and took time to listen to me
and answered everything I needed to know;
things have started to move forward !

I have learned to keep asking and knocking.

It sure has opened !
