"Thanks be to God"

On Sunday evening, before Daddy and  I retired for the night, I said this, "Some how, I feel alright. I know for 2 years running, parents had to go through balloting for Phase 2B but I have been praying that we will get by this year."

Daddy's reply was: "I am at peace too."

Some how, it just felt surreal. I mean, I had ran through this scene a million times in my head. I had visualised myself terrified and extremely worried. What would Plan B be should Precious not get in the school of choice? Many names popped up but Daddy and I never really seriously considered any of them. So, there. We left it all to faith and Him.

On 19th July; the last day of registration for Phase 2B at around 6.15pm, my mobile went off and Daddy had texted me a message "Cheryl is a PLMGS girl! No ballot required! 76 out of 86!" I could hardly believe my eyes. We were just 10 applicants shy from the balloting process. Though I wanted to say we were lucky, we knew that luck had nothing to do with it. It was Him. It was amazing that we felt at peace with the registration though at times, our insecurities took over and we remembered that past records had proven the school to be a popular choice. This day, we truly understood what it really meant to leave all in our Father's hands and he will provide for us.

We received the notification from the School informing us of our successful application and the date of Orientation. :) Will be marking that date down on all of our calenders.
