Talking So Thankful-We are OUT of PGN!

Hello All,
I can't believe I am typing this at last and especially after our latest worries with our case (which I will not get into but hope are now resolved), we are out of the PGN as of 9-23-05, Friday! Just found out tonight! I just want to say thank you to God and thank you to all of you for your prayers and support. I know that we have to wait for the birth certificate (not GC though) and passport and pink slip but just knowing that our little boy is officially ours is such a blessing. I am praying that each of you will hear good news as well. I have started praying daily that each of you hear good news in your cases and will continue to do so. I again will post one of my top favorite verses that I recite daily as part of my prayers and devotions now.

"Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." Proverbs 25:25

Take care~
