For a very long time I have been waiting for a very important day in my life... the day that I get my Permanent Green Card so I can became a citizen in this Country. We thought my case was approved until four months ago when we found out that some one inside the immigration made a mistake and never told us. We never received a phone call or a notification letter telling us that the case was not finalized. Our lawyer was persistent and kept calling the Immigration Office. One day he was able to find out what the status of the case was. Basically, I am in what they call "deportation status" and my court date is January 19Th. Who would’ve thought that this situation would end up like this.
So now I’m facing a huge challenge in my life and I struggle every day to find answers to my own questions. Why me? Why does someone else get to decide the course of my life? Why did I have to put my husband through this? Well I don’t know why. All I know is that God is the one who decides my life and that is what I truly believe.
I pray every day for strength, comfort, and for God to be with me and hold my hands telling me that it is going to be okay. I do believe that He has a plan for me and for my husband. We will get through this .
And it's times like this that I seek faith and comfort. There is a Bible verse that helps me so much. I hope that it can bring you peace the next time you are faced with a potentially life-altering situation...
1Peter 1:6-9
Be truly glad. There is a wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold-though faith is far more precious then mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls.
