Can I get an O, a U, a T????? What's that spell???? OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, you heard it right, we got the call today, we are out of PGN!!! God is SO good!
We knew that today could possibly be the "it" day. One of our friends was calling today, but could not get through. I described it as a band aid that was slowly being ripped off of a wound. LOL!
At lunch, my phone rang and I looked down at the caller ID. I saw the name and immediately my heart dropped into my stomach. It was not the person that I was expecting to call. I answered the phone and he was very solemn. He asked if I had a moment and if I was sitting down. I was staring at one of my fellow teachers across the table and my eyes were watering. He then proceeded to tell me that our facilitator had gotten an out and....we were IT! In my mind, I really thought that I was screaming for joy, however, my friend said that my face immediately began to crumble and tears started flowing. I looked at her and she was crying because I was crying. I nodded my head and gave her a thumbs up!!! WE WERE OUT!!!
It was amazing! My students started running up to me and jumping up and down. You see, as soon as I picked up the phone, I could feel my students' heads immediately jerk to attention. They were just as nervous and excited as I was! I swear, I felt that I was going to vomit or pass out. My head started hurting as the tension and stress immediately lifted off of me. (Just like Becky told me!!!)
I just kept saying "Thank you Lord" over and over again. However, thank you, just doesn't seem to be enough. What do you say to the Lord who was faithful with His promise? I just can't even find the praises to sing to Him. For once, I am completely speechless! God truly gets the glory for this out. Our prayer has been that God will be glorified and we will just fall to the wayside. "You are the Lord, the God of all mankind. Nothing is too hard for You!" Jeremiah 32:27 This has been the verse that I wake up saying and go to bed saying. I have never prayed over a verse so hard in my life. As a matter of fact, it has now become my life verse.
Thank you God!!! WE ARE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
