A MIRACLE just happened!!

VJ members.... thought I would share with you the news!

So after almost 14 months undergoing AP in Algiers, and at refusal email from the embassy on August 1st....., bright and early this morning I got a call from my fiance. He said " baby get on Skype and check the CEAC website," so I quickly jumped out of bed and did just that...... WOW, couldn't believe my eyes, " Ready" it is our new update today. Did not know what to think, because our entire journey has been a nightmare..... We were jumping up and down from excitement!. Then an hour later, the call I have been waiting for the last 14 months, my fiance again, he said "baby, guess what? I said WHAT? Just got a call from the American Embassy, was told to bring or send my passport, they are ready to issue visa!", I almost fainted. This was truly a MIRACLE!!

Whatever happened at the Embassy we probably will never know, but that is irrelevant at this point. We really prayed hard and asked God to intervene. At that moment we had let go of that heavy burden and gave it all up to HIM.

We are positive that the outcome of our journey was 100% Divine Intervention. Thank you my GOD!. Never underestimate his power. Be it and it is done!

A great thanks to all my VJ friends!
