So on Jan. 19, 2006, I tried to leave the country on vacation. I have never been stopped at customs before, but there's a first time for everything. It was scary; they searched through my stuff.
And so, it continues…I’m still here, I still have this lawsuit hanging over my head, can’t get out of the country, can’t see my family, can’t see my fiancée.
But, looking at the big picture, it could be worse. And, it made me realize how much less freedom the people in this country have. I mean, they're restricted from doing so many things, and on the spiritual level, most of these people don't have freedom. I can take comfort that I have an eternal hope, that there is a loving God who delights in doing His people good, who has a perfect and wonderful plan for my life, and that even before there was a problem, a solution was on the way.
I'm praying for a speedy resolution to this problem, and that my heart won't be hardened towards this country. I keep reminding myself that there is corruption and unfair treatment anywhere, even in a country like Canada, and I can't just hold a grudge against this country in particular...and I need to remember not to stereotype all the people here. It's hard.
THat the world would know Christ and be transformed.
Sigh.
