C2H, it makes my heart glad to see God's work in opening this new door for you. I would say congratulations, but I suspect your response would be that all the glory belongs to Him! You combine an obviously strong faith in the Lord with a beautifully positive and patient attitude that is befitting of someone who has heard the joyful tidings. I have quoted Romans 8:28 more than once recently, thanks to having been reminded of it by your posts. I am also very fond of Jeremiah 42:10; I find the KJ translation somewhat lacking compared to the Hebrew, but the promise that God will build us up and secure us is particularly meaningful to me right now.
Thank you for working so hard to set an example worthy of following. I am taking notes!
