1. I need your prayers!!! Tomorrow morning I have a telephone meeting with the Magistrat (Stadt Wien) about my Visa. Hopefully they will be able to tell me whether or not they will be giving me a residence permit (only a y.e.a.r. later) or not. Its all in God's hands and I completely trust him, please just pray that God's will be done and I am able to surrender to it and live it with joy and peace whatever the outcome may be. Otherwise....the countdown continues...12 more days of being legal.
2. New sponsor letter posted!! (finally right). Well in the process of writing this one, I also have wrote a second one. I am just waiting for a couple more pieces to fill in at the end of November and then I will be getting another one out in record time!
3. This really struck me:
Nothing can fill the gap when we are away from those we love, and it would be wrong to try to find anything. We must simply hold out and win through. That sounds very hard at first, but at the same time it is a great consolation, since leaving the gap unfilled preserves the bonds between us. It is nonsense to say that God fills the gap; God does not fill it, but keeps it empty so that our communion with another may be kept alive, even at the cost of pain.
