VISA GRANTED - what a testimony of God's grace

[MartinK2409]

Hi everyone

I just want to publically say that I am amazed what God has been doing in our lives... It is less than three months ago that I had a quick telephonic chat (which turned out to be an interview) for a position that was not even publically available at the Sydney office of the company I work.

Fast forward a bit to 457 VISA GRANTED last week Friday. We booked our (sponsored) flights the same day!! THEN, this week Monday our house contents was collected for shipping - amazing timing... wow what a journey. (We are staying with family until we fly on 17 JANUARY 2015!!!!!!).

For those out there who think that things can't change quickly, just watch out, it may just be one prayer away. I don't want to sound preachy, and apologies if it is taken up this way, I just can't stop testifying. Of course there will be trying times - it's life - but it is amazing to SEE how a plan so much bigger than YOU is coming together. Don't ever take this for granted.

Hey Martin, congratulations on the visa grant and good luck with the rest of the journey. Things change sometimes faster than we like but change is as good as a holiday.

What wonderful news, trust it will all be plain sailing from here on out!

AMEN! God is good and it is wonderful to see His plan for our lives come together. Thumbs up for sharing! Wishing you the very best in your new adventure!

Hi Martin, congrats and best wishes on the move.

I agree Martin, see my post in general under "we're back on track".

We have also experienced His grace in last 3 years........ long story, and now we are few days away from SA state sponsorship and then a visa.

best of luck.

Hi MartinK2409. I just read your testimony and I'm inspired. We're in a very difficult financial state at the moment and we can't wait for things to turn around for us. We lodged our 189 application on 20 Dec. Can't wait to hear the good news. Wish you the best as you settle in.

[MartinK2409]

Thank you both!

Hi Martin,

Welcome! Sorry, I don't get on the forum much these days, but feel free to contact us if you need any help or have local questions. 3-months in and Sydney feels like home (actually didn't take long at all). Did you settle on a suburb yet? I know you were looking at Zetland, just a suburb or 2 over form us here in Surry Hills.

Cheers

Matt

Hi Matt!

Sent you a PM, we found a place North of the harbour for the first six months

It's refreshing to see someone humble enough to acknowledge good things happening and giving credit otherwise.

[MartinK2409]

Thanks Bob, just being obedient

God will continue to bless you mate.
