Well, I'm still here. My work permit has not been renewed, YET, and I will be applying for a fourth time. Having been here over 2 years now, living & serving in a foreign country has been ?????????? I can see many blessings but also some disappointments. But waiting on the Lord to see what He would have us do is nerve stretching.
You see, my permit expired in late July. We had applied back in January to renew it, but the government has tighten the rules on hiring of foreign workers. It seems the banking industry was taking advantage of paying foreign workers 15% less than its own citizens. So people with deep pockets started complaining to Parliament about it. So the rules were changed and tightened to slow down the hiring of foreign workers. I am caught in the middle.
While the paperwork process is moving I have been given "implied status" to stay in the country. But each refusal means starting over again. So as I wait I also am looking at my options come 2014. Will I be here or do I have to return to America and find employment there? Where do I go? Where shall I live? What will I do? Thankfully the Lord has provided for us the resources to return to wherever we choose. But seeking the Lords will for us, that is the question!
Waiting!
Waiting!
Waiting!
Oh! that will build character in me!
How do you seek the Lords will in your life? I would enjoy your input.
