Granted!

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? 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; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

Isaiah 40

We received this email from the Brazilian consulate in Chicago on Sunday:

"Dear Mr. Johnson,

The vitem-VII for you and your family has already arrived in the Consulate General.

Please come to the Consulate General in person to finalize the visa process, bringing the passports and making the payment of the consular fee involved. . . ."

Thank you so much for praying with us during these months and we invite you to join with us now in praise and thanksgiving to our abundantly good God for His grace.

We are continuing to consider our options and pray about making our arrangements to move to Brazil. More news will be forthcoming as we finalize the details.

Happy Thanksgiving!
