Trick or Treat


God's been teaching me lot's this week about patience and waiting. Since the last time I posted until today I have been somewhat obsessed with the China Centre for Adoption Affairs website to change. What He's taught me as it sits the same day after day is that I am wishing my time now away. That instead of enjoying my family and friends my mind has been elsewhere. Our time to get Emily will come soon enough and I realise that God is strengthening me. Who am I to question His intentions. Who am I to question why He chooses to reveal Emily to us this month or next. I am completely at peace now (I say now because yesterday I wasn't) today is a new day and when the date changes it changes. In the meantime...I'm spending time with me family, working, drumming, singing and praising the Lord all the way to China! God is Good. Keep her safe Lord and we will in your timing go and get her. Next year on Halloween we'll have ourselves a ladybug to trick or treat with...too cool.

No News is Better than Bad News



Well I guess that no news is good news. It still means that perhaps our date will be included in the next round of referrals. Either or it will be this month or next at the latest so I will hang tight.

Holding my breath for China

I decided that today I would begin my posting for our China Girl! Our family is adopting from China and we are awaiting our referral. Our date that we were approved in China is August 25, 2005. This is significant because as I type I am waiting to see if referrals are being sent this month for dates starting August 10th and ending mmmm...good question. Some rumours say August 23rd some say the 24th, I've heard the 26th and even as late as the 28th. I know it's all in God's timing but oh baby the wait this month has been crazy. So I go to bed knowing that God has our best interests at heart and that whether we get a referral this month or next as crazy as I am tonight....its ok whatever He decides. Emily we're coming to get you soon little one but until then God has you safely under His wing. Chow.
