Crazy Faith Part 1
If you haven’t read them, the story will not be sweet …. Don’t worry, I will wait for you.
As soon as I took a few minutes to relax, I went back to my Olivia-Pope-Mode. I started googling the US embassy contact information in Canada, and sending emails to anything that looked like an email address. The fact that it was night and most businesses were closed didn’t stop me from calling the numbers I saw. I don’t know which cockroach or rat that I was expecting to pick the call. I tossed and turned all night, replaying different scenarios in my head. Hoping that I would have successfully irritated the embassy with my ceaseless emails, to the point where they reschedule my interview for the next day against all protocols they had set.
I immediately started talking myself out of it. I remembered how my pastor in church always encouraged us to exercise our faith. Strength filled my bones, and courage captured my heart. I told myself that I had to get ready for my trip to Vancouver, and it started with a shower. Ladies and gentlemen, this was after all the rejections I got. Was I crazy? Absolutely! I just had crazy faith in God. There was a tiny piece of my heart that had fear lingering in it; but I was determined to keep my faith, HIGHER.
My dad’s call came in; the ever funny father-of-mine tried to cheer me up as he made fun of different aspects of what had happened. We discussed the options that I had and even without me selling it, he jumped on board with my crazy-faith. He encouraged me to go to Vancouver. I continued getting ready, even told Roomie to prepare to take me to the airport. Then the unexpected happened.
After several calls and several numbers, I got a call from the embassy asking me to come the next day as I had initially requested. If there were ever doubts in my mind about the power of faith in God, this right here cleared it. Even if there was no other reason for all that happened, to see faith, raw in action like this, is worth everything I went through.
Make it a Winning-Day
