Dare to hope

I am hoping to hear back from Jonny this week about the visa. Hearing on that means I can gather my info and send in my application. Along with that comes specific dates. Right now I still feel very far away from my goal, but I talked to a couple very good friends this week that are helping me see things differently. There are still things I can do.. I am not out of options!
I have a meeting with Pastor on Thursday to talk to him and get his opinions and ask for some help. I am also going to talk to Dougee and even email Pastor Shorey. God put people of great influence in my life for a reason and I shouldn't be ashamed to ask for help when I need it.
Part of me is feeling afraid this week will end up like all the weeks before it... with nothing changing. Not even one step closer. But part of me is feeling hopeful. God can do all things and yes, hoping does make me vulnerable... but I'm trying to be ok with that. There's no one better to be vulnerable with than the Father!

What a great last statement. And I say with you: Dare to Hope! God didn't awaken/restore that desire in you for it to lay dormant. BTW, I'm proud of you for using the awesome resources God's put in your life. It sure sets a great example for your friends to follow:)

Haha thank you very much! I'm still nervous but feeling better just by knowing I am taking the steps I am capable of taking.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement you've given me through all of this. You are invaluable to me. I love you.
