After much paperwork, forms, medical certificates, police certificates, money and a tad of reminiscing I have my Residency Application all ready to send off today. We have to enclose personal emails, short and long term future goals, a detailed travel itinerary, letters from family and friends affirming that we are married and in love and I am not trying to sneak my way into New Zealand, (Thank you to those of you that wrote letters back in January. I have resubmitted the same letters) and pictures (luckily my blog tracks our story quite nicely with pictures included--yet another reason I am a fan of blogs!)
I had submitted most of the same emails, blogs and pictures that I submitted for my work permit in January, but it was such again a fun moment to re look at all of those sweet moments and the story that God weaved together over the last 2 years now.
We would love your prayers for a couple specific things in this process.
My pregnancy could pose an issue as one of the questions I read was "Are you planning on getting pregnant within the next 2 years." And I just received from the hospital here a letter saying that they have no proof I am eligible for free health care in this process. Please pray that I would be approved and being given residency without this becoming an issue.
The process can be excruciatingly hard and long or simple. We could have to sit for an interview and we could not. It all depends on who receives and processes our application. Pray for favor over our application when it is received next Monday.
Thank you for being a part of our process and praying with us through all of our journey. We have seen our faith shaken, grown, shrink and strengthened all through this process. The Truth remains the same though--God is always watching, never forgetting and working all things together for those who love Him.
