do you want details??

Here's the scoop!

Yesterday I just told some of my friends that "I wander if it will ever happen." I knew it would but it seemed like we were so close yet so far away...I know many of you can relate. Anyway, I layed down to take a nap later in the afternoon and the phone rang. I'm sure the thought crossed my mind because it had been for weeks now...everytime the phone rang - I thought it was my agency. The conversation went something like this:

"Hello."
"Hi Jami, this is Denise from Building Blocks." (at this point, I don't think it even registered with me what was happening. I was expecting to hear from Kelly and so a little fear of what if this is bad news crossed my mind...)
"Hi..."
"Well, I wanted to let you know that I just got your PGN approval...."
My hand went to my face and I started screaming..."WHAT?? ARE YOU SERIOUS? ARE YOU SERIOUS???"

Indeed she was...she told me a little of what to expect next and wished me a good day! GOOD DAY??!!! She totally MADE my day! At this point, I was shaking, my heart was pounding, and I probably rambled off some things that I can't remember.

I hung up the phone and immediately started weeping...sobbing actually...and said "thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus" over and over. I could cry right now. Then I called Clint and others and continued crying for about a half an hour. It is absolutely amazing and such a relief. A few people have asked me if I slept great last night. Actually....NO! I COULD NOT fall asleep. I am exhausted right now but everytime I lay down, I think of my baby and how it will be to actually be with him. I couldn't nap today and I need to. I didn't fall asleep until after 1:30 last night and woke up around 6:30 (thanks to my girlies). I need sleep but the adrenline rush is still on...the carmel frappachino I had last night didn't help either! :)

So I thought I'd come down and post! As much joy as I feel now...I know the pain of waiting and I want all my dear friends who are still wandering if it will EVER happen to know that I am praying for you. I love you all and know that God is faithful! I can't wait to read your OUT posts! It will be soon....by the way Barrios did not sign mine...it was someone else from PGN... Hmmmm, interesting isn't it? Maybe things will finally start to pick up. I found out yesterday that our case was actually approved on May 15th!!! 4 days after it was resubmitted for the 2nd time - then it went to Barrios's desk and SAT for almost 8 full weeks!!!!!!! I'm glad I didn't know that then. But I'm trusting that God knows the BIG picture.

I opened to this yesterday while doing my devotions after hearing my good news. I thought it was quite fitting:

Isaiah 60:20

"The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me....to comfort all who mourn, to give them...the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. That they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that HE MAY BE GLORIFIED!"

This is my prayer...Father BE GLORIFIED throughout this...I Praise You and I LOVE YOU! Thank You JESUS!
