Put your nets on the other side...

After a long week of constantly checking the UPS tracking number for the return of my visa and passport, I decided I was not going to check it again before bed.  It was just making me upset, and the answer was not changing.  But all I could think of was this story:

 "When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon’s partners. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people.” So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him." (Luke 5:4-11)

I found this strange because I haven't read this story in awhile, but I decided it must mean I needed to check the tracking number one more time.  Just like Jesus knew what he was doing with the disciples, he knew what he was doing tonight! The passport/visa has been shipped!!  God is so so good! Thank you for all your prayers, now we can pray that the trusty UPS will deliver it on Wednesday! Ethiopia, here I come!

Here's the proof!
