Answered Prayer!

Yesterday afternoon, I received what was probably the most important phone call of my life. Elijah is out of PGN!!!! We are in the home stretch now!!! Our case made it through in less than 8 weeks with no previos....which makes me feel very fortunate, considering the "average" minimum in PGN right now is 8 weeks and 80 % of cases are kicked out of PGN.

Even better news....Sue says since he was born in Amatitlan, his birth certificate shouldn't take very long and there is a possibility of a pick up trip around Thanksgiving! I had figured not to expect anything before maybe the first week of December.

So now comes the time to get all those things I have put off and put off done. ARGH!!!! I've procrastinated too much about some things!! On the upside, I should be so busy until time for pick up that it goes by quickly.

The journey has been difficult at times but I have never second guessed my choice to begin it or my destination. Having family and friends beside me along the way, cheering me on, offering words of hope and encouragement has made it bearable on the hard days. There have been several rocks in my brook as well as Elijah's, but....

"A brook would lose its song if God removed the rocks"
