I can't forget that day, June 26, 2004, when I have to leave my family and need to go to Dubai, U.A.E. to work. My husband and my 4 children were with me to the airport and tears were rolling down on my face while I bid goodbye to my loved ones. My heart cried out in pain but I have to go and have to sacrifice for my children's brighter future. Being away from my family was the saddest and hardest part of my life and I told myself that I should do something to be together with my family the soonest possible time for I can't bear the loneliness of being away from them for a very long time. After a year of residence in Dubai I applied for a family migration in Canada and from then on I prayed and put my trust in God that He will answer my prayers in His time.
Last May 15, 2009 I was again at the airport with my husband and my 4 children. Tears were rolling down on my face (again) but those were tears of joy because that's the time where I will go to Canada with my family.
I am very thankful to God for He answered my prayers and am very grateful for He gave me more than I asked for. God showered me and my family with so much blessings: my children are all in school, my husband got a permanent job now and most of all I have been admitted in the Accountant Bridging Program of the Mennonite Center for Newcomers in Edmonton. With all of these blessings it is just right and proper to thank God, for all of these will not be possible without HIM.
