Future Doctor

God Did IT! Vernon received his letter from MCG on Wednesday and he's accepted into med school!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so excited!!!! Thanks to all of you for praying and sharing your encouragement and advice during the last 4 years of his pre-med schooling. We're so thankful for the way the LORD has worked in our lives to bring us to this point.
Vernon graduates next Saturday! It's hard to believe! This acceptance letter came exactly 3 weeks after he received the letter saying he was on the waiting list. God moved fast!

What was so neat was that we both had separately come to peace about his probably not getting in this year, and what that would mean--he could keep on working, putting money aside to start with next year, hoping to get in then--Fall of '09, we could have a family life again.......etc. Once we talked about it, we realized we were both feeling the same way, which was helpful to me. As he put it, he'd be disappointed if he didn't get in, but not heartbroken. But that was not to be.
The Lord opened up a slot for him in the class and we are so grateful he can keep on going, and not have to re-do his interviews, etc., next year to try again.

So keep praying for us--there's a lot of paperwork to get done this summer in preparation for this new step in our lives. And Vernon will be quitting work the end of July, so we'll be living on student loans.............

More later!

And now for proof!
