We were sitting in a cafe in Caledonia sipping tea and trying to get some work done when the call came. For two days we had been on pins and needles waiting for this call, feeling discouraged and letting our minds wander to 'what if?' What if we had this all wrong and it isn't God's will that we go to Germany? This has been a crazy year, we are very tired and have been through many transitions (Trochu-Three Hills-Belleville ON-Hamilton ON-Caledonia ON-Belleville ON-Toronto-Caledonia etc.), but the wonderful thing is that God is always constant! He has wonderful plans for us and for you, plans you cannot even fathom right now.
So as we sat in that Cafe trying to take deep breathes, and trust that God is Sovereign, our contact from the C&MA in Calgary called and told us these wonderful words-
"You have been given the go ahead and are now fully licensed as International Workers with the C&MA!"
Relief, tears, more relief, smiles, jumping up and down, thank you's and a lot of hugging proceeded. A man came up to us after and said- "Excuse me, you two are just exuding some crazy energy and I'm wondering what is making you so happy?" So we laughed and exuded some more as we told him.
