It's done!

I'm almost too excited to write this post. So many things have brought me to this point, but here are a few highlights of the most recent events.

4 years, 9 1/2 months ago I moved to Guatemala with no long term plan in mind.
4 years, 3 months ago I received the call from God to start a children's home for kids with special needs.
1 year, 8 months ago I finished my 2 year training period at Reheboth Children's Home.
1 year 2 1/2 months ago I moved into the new house and started getting it ready for the girls.
10 months and 19 days ago I handed in the paperwork asking to be certified as a children's home.
1 hour and 45 minutes ago I received the phone call saying I have been APPROVED to open Treasures of God Children's Home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Praise God!!!!!

This has felt like a long, and often never-ending process, but I'm done! And I know God had the perfect timing for it.

Now I wait anywhere from 2 weeks to a month or so to receive the final paperwork. Then I'm open for business!!!! I am so excited!!! I can't wait to post the first picture of the precious little girl that will be the first family member.

Thank you for all your prayers and support! This will be a night of celebrating! Hopefully with chocolate cake. :)
