Loose Ends

Lots of loose ends hang in the balance right now.
11. Seminary: Where are we going..Who knows? We should by now but we don't. A certain someone to be remain unnamed did not send in the last recommendation that we needed 2 weeks ago...but I faxed it off today and popped the hard copy in the mail...so no biggie.But we have to be accepted before we can apply for scholarships!


2.Green Card: Where is it? Who Knows? It's probably been snagged by some illegal Immigrant and another "Amanda Cannon" just happens to be prancing around getting her drivers licence and visiting Canada as often as she likes. All things I am not able to do. I'm not really even Amanda Cannon. Shh don't tell Josh. *wink* It's Amanda Thiessen for now. Its even on our checks *frown*. It makes us look like we have a prenup or something....bleh.


3. Lawsuit from car accident: Deposition canceled and rescheduled 3 times. Lets hope this one sticks. Sad thing if we don't get it all taken care of before we move we will have to pay our selves to fly back! Oh and that brings me to my next loose end


4.Moving: Who knows? Refer back to number one.... We have to be out of our Apartment by May 31st. Which also happens to be the day of a wedding we are in. YIKES!


5.Licence: Yep thats right folks when April 13th rolls around I will not only be 25 I will also be an illegal driver. My licence expires that day and seeing as I am stuck in between countries....I can not renew it in Canada or get one here until I have my Green Card...refer back to number 2.


So as you can see this is a tangled mess of loose ends. Thankfully the answer to the question WHO KNOWS is this: God does. I am thankful he is the master loose ends tier. He not only will provide for every need He will teach us irreplaceable lessons along the way.
"Come now, you who say, "today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead you should say "if the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that."
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
