Paperwork, Prayer and Praise

The Ghana Journals 

Part 6//Paperwork, Prayer and Praise

Good news!  We have our visa applications complete and they are on their way to be processed by the Embassy of Ghana.  If all goes well, we should be approved and finished with the paperwork side of preparing for our trip in about three weeks.  This is one of the last big things we need to have done, which is great since we are leaving in 46 days.  (We are definitely feeling excited!!)

We would greatly appreciate prayer as our visa applications are processed.  Some who have applied to The Embassy of Ghana have had paperwork and passports misplaced or lost, or have been denied visas for various reasons.  Ultimately we know that it's God's hands, not the hands of the Ghanaian officials, that hold our visas (which is such a sweet reality!), but we would love for you to pray together with us that our visa applications would be processed efficiently, that nothing would be lost or misplaced, and that we would be approved right away.

As a praise report, it looks like we have a date set to meet Rachael, my Compassion sponsor child.  :)  I am so seriously excited to meet this girl!!

And as a special bonus, I wanted to share with you a few of Miah's pictures.  Isn't it amazing that we are called to know, love, serve, and be loved by and satisfied in the God who paints these brilliant sunsets each night and handcrafts every detail of every flower?  He is so good!  (And aren't you excited to see the pictures Miah is going to come home from Africa with??  Me too!)

 Thanks!  It is such a gift to be able to take this trip together to Ghana, and we are excitedly expectant to see what the Lord has in store.  He is so good and so faithful!!  We have already seen His hand at work in so many great and beautiful ways, and we know that He will continue to reveal Himself to us as we follow where He leads.

Rejoicing together in His abundance,

~Leah + Miah~
