WELL THE WAITING IS OVER !!

As some of you will know we have been waiting for just over a year now to see if we could get a visa for permanant residency in Australia. In the beginning we really didn't know if this was something that was achievable but something that we kept thinking about and a dream that wouldn't go away, we prayed and have believed if this is right then God would open the doors for us - we have continued to push the doors and the journey has been interesting at times !! - anyway to the point - today our immigration agent has rang to say that they have recieved confirmation that we have been accepted and will be recieving our visas soon.
What is really amazing is that only this morning l was pinning Mountain mama's map and l couldn't fit my little person on the uk as Helens little person was on there already and so made a comment saying that l was in the English Channel for the time being; but God willing was hoping for an oz visa at the end of the month - (as l wrote it l thought l could make myself look a right prat here if l don't now get one, but thought oh well if its not meant to be, God won't do it)
After hearing the news l came upstairs to send a few e-mails and thought WOW.....the news kind of hit me; Premier radio was playing on-line and the song that was playing was "OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD......HE REIGNS FROM HEAVEN ABOVE" l felt really emotional at this point and will have to get used to the idea that God really is looking out for us, because this really is an unbelievable outcome, one that has trully caused a whole range of emotions running riot !! Can't wait to tell the children when they come home and see their reactions.
Many thanks to all those who have prayed and will continue to do so - we have rather a lot to sort out over the next few months, finishing and selling house etc.

Wow Tracie - that's big news!! I love the fact that God puts dreams in our hearts, and sometimes it's only when part (or all) of it has happened - that you can look back and see how awesome the journey was!

Will be praying for you all!

well at last you now know that the dream in your heart was in the right direction, you've always put this into Gods Hands and there He will hold you and guide you as you step out to something new, how exciting for you all!

And with blogging it will seem as if you are just around the corner!
