Thank God

I have so many reasons to be thankful to God. Today is just an example of His grace and mercy. Talk about perfect timing...
This morning, I woke up around 3:00. I couldn't sleep...I had so many things on my mind. At 4:00, I called to check on Barbara and is happy to announce that Aubrey Anne Snow was born at 2:00 AM. :) I am so thankful for the friendship I have with Barbara. I can't wait to watch Aubrey grow up. She is loved so much, and her parents are going to give her the world!!
At 9:30, my family walked into the parole board room. We sat in front of 3 parole board members, and across from 7 people there to protest our wishes. The opposing side had the opportunity to speak first. During this time, my family sat quietly, waiting on them to stop telling all the lies. I prayed the whole time that God would be with the parole board members. Then it was our turn to talk. I am so proud to call these people my family. They argued their points, stated our concerns, and accomplished what we were there to do. He was denied parole for 3 more years!! Thank you, God, for hearing my cry. I am incredibly thankful for my family.
When I got back to Birmingham, I headed out to see Aubrey. On my way, I got the phone call... I am going to be a home owner!! The seller accepted my offer and I am getting things going. I can't wait to move into my new house!! I am thankful for the patience and willingness of my realtor. :)
What a day!! I don't think it could get any better. I hope your day was just as good...
