Mim and Bes have just rung to say they got the visa - no explanations, just an official stamp in the passport. They booked their flights last night - coming in Saturday 28th, heading straight for Scotland, but will be in UK until March 31st, largely based in Bristol. Mim's facebook will gradually fill-in with detailed plans -their need at the moment just rest.
And the birthday present? Well today is my 46th Birthday, since as an eleven year old I turned my will to following God's direction for my life. I could take you to the spot on the pavement in Wick (KW1 5QW) where life changed forever, but online satellite images seem to consider Wick as not worthy of detailed inspection - can any good thing come out of Wick?.....
So thank you God, and thank you praying friends. Dave

Hi Dave and Elaine
ReplyDeleteIt was so good to see you the other day (sorry for interrupting the rugby) and it is so good to have found this blog. We pray for you often - and stand with you in proclaiming that "The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength"
Great to hear of the visa success! Hope you have a great break in Scotland. Also can't believe Jeremy and Lynette posted those verses which I've had on my mind and been praying for you for the past two weeks! Have a good break in Scotland. Love to you all. See you soon.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about the visa! Knowing this type of bureaucracy, it's truly a miracle. May you have a wonderful visit.
ReplyDeleteYes - Eventually! Good news! So pleased for you!, Tracey C
ReplyDeleteHi Dave and Elaine, we have been praying for you since receiving your Christmas newsletter. You are precious to the Lord and not one hair falls from your head without him knowing about it. It was amazing to discover our mutual friends - Rob and Marion White. We do hope to make a visit to Bristol in the next few months and would love to catch up. We have set up healing rooms here in Frontline and God does seem to be doing some excellent healing stuff (including cancer). Bill Johnson from Bethel church California has been a real inspiration to us. I listen to his downloads often and my faith is always built up. Love to you both. Have a great break in Scotland. Nic and Jenny
