Thanks God
Approaching cruising altitude and we're enjoying the ride.
The past 24 hours have been life-changing.
Thanks again God.

At last
At last - My mom is out of ICU and in a room. We anticipate her coming home tomorrow! They were able to get her stable and the new meds are working.
At last - The church office is organized! Thanks Elder Elvanna! We sorted, copied, organized and filed for better part of the day. We're both eager to get on with the build-out! We're eager to lead people to Christ and watch them grow spiritually in Zion!
At last - Our church and office chairs arrived! They look awesome!
At last - I have God's perspective on me. It's amazing what happens when you see yourself as God does.
At last - The final reminder of the drama dispensation we endured went out in the trash yesterday. Thank you Jesus.
At last - A good friend begins her life again. As scary as starting over is...it's time and I couldn't be happier for her.
At last - A clear cut answer from the IRS! LOL!
At last...

If you want a copy of that open letter to Ashford
Holding my tongue and counting backwards...again...
99. 98. 97,...

Pleasantly Surprised
They responded within hours of my email.
Wow.
That's one of the reasons I pulled the open letter from my blog.
I now have more names, phone numbers and email addresses of AU staff than I may ever need. Still no contact info for Jeff Cross, the online admissions vice president and that's OK. I associate his existence to the commercial below. (It is one of my absolute favorites!) His staff worked quickly to resolve my issue and for that I say thanks.
So it appears my academic career will continue at Ashford University. I may have to take some time off to let financial aid catch up with the transfer. Again, I'm OK with that. Communication and clarity are absolutes when conducting business; especially when that business is long distance. There are still some issues to clear up and a moving forward strategy is in order. I am waiting on a call from the financial aid counselor and hopefully this is a done deal tomorrow.
Many thanks to everyone at Ashford who made my cry for help their priority.
Ashford; I'm impressed.
Prayers Appreciated
They are running a series of test that's scheduled to last a few hours.
Please keep her in your prayers.

Oh, I was really supposed to read that
Here's what Dr. Trimm had to say:
This is wisdom I needed to be reminded of now that I've left the tarmac! Some things are not worthy of the spent brain matter I've given them. The words...whatever you focus on today, you give that thing permission to exist tomorrow spoke to me. I'm focused on God's end result. Even when there's turbulence, I remain focused.People who focus on what they want get exactly what they want. People who focus on problems, hurdles, walls and obstacles will go through life with problems, hurdles, walls and obstacles. It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened to you in the past that determines who you become. Rather, it is your focus upon it. It is the meaning and significance that you give to every occurrence that determines its weight and effect upon your life.
Focus on Your Dreams, Goals and VisionWhatever you focus on today, you give that thing permission to exist tomorrow. Focus on your dreams, goals and vision. Focus on where you want to be, not where you came from. Focus on what you expect to acquire and what you wish to do, and not on what you do not have or what you have not done. Focus on your healing and not your sickness. Focus on your deliverance and not your detrimental situations. Focus on what remains and not what you have lost. Focus on wearing that size 7 skinny jeans and not on how much weight you have gained.
Amen.

Cleared for take-off
Ladies and gentlemen, we have liftoff.
The days of sitting on the tarmac are over.

We have liftoff.
