THE NEWS YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR
Praise the Lord!!!!! He is good and we praise His name!!!!
IT IS A YES !!!!!!!!
Happy tears are flowing !!!!!!
Ok so we have come down off the ceiling! We are so happy and thankful.
We were in the family rooms at Starship when my phone rang and I could see it was the business manager at Starship. She said “I have good news- It is a yes- where are you?” I hung up and burst into tears, big relieved sobs and Hamish and I just hugged for a bit crying at this amazing news.Â
Yesterday Starship were starting to make noises about perhaps the MoH were taking so long because it was a NO. The business manager had just come out of a meeting with her boss in which they were discussing a no answer and the ‘fall out’ from that and then the MoH phoned her. So Hamish and I had to really wrestle with our faith and look to God and keep our eyes fixed on Him should He say no.
BUT HE DIDN’T!!
Thank you so much for your beautiful comments- we love to read them and know you are all so happy for us.
I FORGOT!!!! I forgot to tell you the other big news of the day- Aria bili is down to 250!!!
