Sometimes.....in Our Life....

Yes...sometimes we come to the point of expecting that God will answer our prayer. We feel that we have asked Him and He will answer our prayer. But, what happen in the reality. Its way different from our expectation. In fact, God is under control of our life.

Thats what we experience last few days here. We struggling for Eva's visa, we need to extend her visa soon. As we come here, I got student visa and Eva has visitor visa and the counselor said that we can extend her visa as soon as I got my residency and complete all the papers. Then we did it but the authority said that I have to stay for one year here before I have my wife join me. Its weird because that regulation isn't in the written regulation that we can find. We went to the office in Kaohsiung and even to Taipei..but still the same answer. We tried about missionary visa but the officer kept in insisting that they have the authority to deny or accept the application. Then, we did our best. The final result is that Eva needs to go out and apply visa from outside Taiwan. She left on Oct 2, 2008 to Indonesia.We realize that God is under control in our lives. He controlled our lives and He knows the best for us. Like He said that all things work together in bringing good for those who trust him. Its sad though but we know that we can walk through it. So, I am alone here in Tainan and I am planning to move to the school dormitory so we can save for the visa work.

We know our purpose why should we stay here and why should we survive. As we walk with God, He is Emmanuel (God with Us). Nothing is impossible with Him. We have to fully trust Him all time, even sometimes it seems that far away from our expectation.
