As I might of stated before, I feel that God is calling me to "wait" as far as applying for a work permit or Permanent Residence (PR) for next year (in Canada). This I struggle with, since in cases like this I am not normally patient. I want to do something. I want the satisfaction of doing my part. Yet I've felt that God is calling me to "wait." Recently I've noticed several news articles about moving to Canada and I've slightly looked into them. People have mentioned to me that when God says wait, it's possible He means to apply and let Him do the rest. I thought that I might give that a try (though I feel more peace about not applying right now). However, I am now more sure that I am to do 'nothing' this time, as far as waiting goes. How did I get to this point?
I've had a $100 block of $2 bills (5o $2 bills - USA) and I've had them for sale on Kijiji (like Craigslist) for quite some time. From experience, I've found that I can sell them at a coin shop at the market, but for a quite low price, or I can sell them on Kijiji for good profit. Well, it has been a while that the ads have been on Kijiji without any response, and I've kept reposting and reposting the ads. So, in my impatience, I figured I'd try to see what the Market shop would give me for them today. I didn't not bring this idea before God though, I just did it. The shop offered me $150 CAD for them (they are worth $125 CAD) so I sold the block to them for profit, again I did this without confirming with God whether I should do it or not.
When I got home, I found that about the same time I had sold them to the coin shop, I had received a reply from my Kijiji post. The Kijiji guy offered me $250 for the block. If only I had waited and consulted with God first...
All this to say, I now feel like that this is what God is saying will happen if I act on an application now. Yes, I can apply now without Him and it may work out good, but if I wait until He works it out, things will be even better.
