Denied Entry To Canada

For those who haven't heard, Monday January 2, 2017 I left the Stuckey's house in Indiana (a way to break up my trip from Illinois) and heading for Canada.   However the Canadian boarder denied me entry to Canada at that point in time - for good reason on their part.  They simply didn't have enough proof that I would be returning in June after SLI.   They gave me some suggestions and such to look over and said that I can try to re-enter Canada at a later date, but I will need to have documents proving that I will be returning.  Since I don't have a job, mortgage or rent, I have a much more limited range of documents I can get.  The past couple days have been spent praying, waiting and gathering what documents I can.   At this point I am still awaiting some final documents to be mailed and/or emailed to me.

Please pray that God will use this situation to grow me and show me where He wants me.  That His love will be magnified an He will be revealed to those who don't know Him.  Please pray that God will allow the Canadian boarder guards see that I will be returning to the US after SLI in June.  I also ask for prayer that God would give me peace and comfort and understanding at whatever the outcome of the boarder officials conclude.  Please pray that I won't become anymore stressed or worried.  I have nothing to fear.  God is with me; He's got His hand on me and He is teaching me to trust Him more.  

I ask for prayer also with patience.  I do not like waiting, I want to be out doing something or seeing progress or accomplishing something.  However I've noticed a common theme over the past 6-8 months that The Holy Spirit has been teaching me: patience.  I know that it is needed in life and for the path Dad has called me on, but I don't care for it.  I would love a heart that freely accepts it and embraces it.
