Never Despair While There Is Light
znd, You and several other "Waiters" have been hanging back from the forum recently. We hope that is because you are hoping for good news VERY SOON, and not because you are terribly discouraged. Our prayers, thoughts, and support are with you now more than ever. None of you is forgotten - we will wait for your news.

znd, praying that things will come together for you and your family soon. Praying that you have peace and clarity throughtout the rest of the process. Your journey has not been an easy one and reaccreditation has brought no relief as expected. Thinking of you and praying for you still!
