Jesus take the .... pallet?

Confession time.. why, because I believe that it's important to be real. If you can't tell from my other posts I believe that as a christian we are called to be preared with an answer for our faith, we are called to let light shine, we are not called to be white washed tombs.. making people believe we have it all handled when we are messy and hanging by a mustard seed of faith... especially following Paul's words that God's power is shown through our weakness. 

That being said these last few days have been tough. The whole visa paper work alone has caused me sleepless nights.  However, the way things have happened, the timeline of events.. finding the great airline tickets during the few days GEM officials would be able to welcome us, getting shipping started, finding the perfect house to rent all happened so easily. The scary part is it happened at the exact time we were applying for our visas. I wasn't aware you should leave soo much time for your visa to process..

So here is where my stress comes in. What if the visas don't come in time? What if they get denied doe some reason? What if the money that is invested gets set lost?

This has caused me more unrest than I like to admit and I find my self suffering physically - I feel sick, I don't have much apatite, I have bad dreams and have woken up almost frozen with fear.

After calling out to God on many occasions and in many ways, praying and fasting, and praising (what an amazing way to over come worry) God reassured me in such a 'God' way.

Yesterday Eric and I drove down to chicago to drop off our pallet to start it's 6 week journey overseas.
I was tired, stressed, and over worried praying God would come and strengthen my faith.

Well we were handed back our booking form and do you know the name of the person who literally took our bagaget from us? JESUS.
It reads "all goods received in Jesus"

It is such a small thing, but in that instant a peace that is indescribable washed over me. I was calmed and serene. Nothing in my situation has changed.. all the real concerns are still existent. BUT God used this small moment to show me that HE is the one handling things.. that HE is the one taking care of everything...that HE is there to do what I can't.
