I could really use your prayers

Yesterday evening I double checked my mail. earlier in late afternnoon there wasnt any mail and on a whim about 10pm I checked it again.

everything that I was waiting for in the mail was there. Who knows maybe an Angel delivered it. I do not know, but its nice to look at it that way.

So now this evening I will be putting everything together for Mercy's hardship Visa. The reason that it is hardship is because it is not safe for me to go there. I had planned on going there and marrying her in front of her family.

Instead she is coming here and we will be married as soon as possible. We are both relieved that it will be sent in. However please pray for favor with the people reviewing it. Once it is reviewd then she will have to travel to the capital of her country and have an interview. Pray for that as well. Once this is done and she is granted a Fiance' Visa then please pray for the best financial option for a plane ticket for her.

God has graciiously provided all along the way. I did not plan on marrying someone from another Country and another race. Not that any of that matters one iota. The reason I am saying this is because his ways are not our ways...his thoughts are not our thoughts. Trust me I have went over all of this. She is much younger than me. Never been married. There are many things in the physical world that may not make sense. There are people who will always say that she is marrying me to live here as well.

I have known her for this is the 6th year. She has never scammed me or asked for anything. She has always had a great faith and dignity and grace about her. Jean has got to know her some. She knows her heart. She knows her character.

But I would appreciate your prayers. Once I made the final decision to trust God and receive what he wants for me....I have been single minded. No back up plan. No extra person in the back of my mind as a maybe. But what I have noticed is the Love Mercy and I share has blossomed each day and it has grown unbelivably in the past two months since we bagan this single minded journey to be together and to be together.

Its not even a question in my mind anymore. When she gets here we will get a liscense and get married as soon as we can.

It isnt about getting married to make Love right away. Its about I am already married in my heart. Just like when a person is saved...they get baptized in a way to make it official to the world. I am already married in my heart.

But I want to honor her by doing this immediately. I am going to honor God physically too. No premarital stuff. If you have low standards going in...it will carry into other areas. I had a 20 year marriage that was very hard, I want this one to be a blessing so I let God decide.

Be Blessed
Dennis

Congratulations. It sounds like Mercy is as beautiful on the inside as on the outside. I pray that all works out for you both according to God's wonderful plans.
