Happy Easter! Happy (belated) Mawlid al-Nabi to our Muslim friends :D

We often read the stories of others who go through such extraordinary struggles in this journey and I'm sure, like myself, your heart aches for them. Gogo is the one that is most in my mind when I pray for our VJ family. Now Juan Carlos is catching up to him on my top 5 list.

I just wanted to send out a request to everyone in this big family, regardless where you are in the process or what faith you subscribe to, please pray for our brothers and sisters in VJ. This site has been so wonderful in assisting me and my husband with a plethora of information, without which we wouldn't have gotten this far. The power of prayer is an awesome thing too.

I will be spending this Easter Sunday praying for the VJ families to all be reunited and for the people who hold our families in their hands (USCIS and DOS) to work with compassion, professionalism and SPEED!

God likes persistence in prayer, let's give it to Him! A VJ prayer circle!

I would like to join the prayer circle for my VJ family:

Although my husband is by my side I know what it felt like not knowing when we would be together again.

I pray for the couples that still have to be reunited with the ones they love that all obstacles are overcome and doors are opened not closed for speedy reunions.

In Jesus name I pray AMEN!

Our anniversary is coming up too... March 27.. too bad I never got to celebrate with her any of the holidays, birthdays in over 3 years' time.. now I am finally going back in May (my birthday) to celebrate with her.. I was telling her I wanted to get those party hats, plates, and birthday whistle things and buy a cake.. haha.. she was laughing at me and said that those are for our little kids later.. :whistle: haha.. but it will be good practice for them.. :D yeah, I will be going back in less than 2 months now.. already got approval from work for a 2 1/2 week vacation.. :P I am losing confidence on our case.. but the worst thing (like I said before) is for me to quit the government job and move back to China.. I would rather earn little money and be with her, than earning a lot of money and not be with her..

In 2month Devine will be celebrating her 1st year anniversary with her husband. I will unfortunately be sharing it over the phone. Can you believe that we were married two days apart in the same city?

I am having the same problem with my petitions as she did.

I will pray for the same ending result.

I feel everyone's Pain, Sorrow, joy, and celebrations! I thank God for you all! Even the ones who like to keep me on my tip toes.

God bless you all.
