~Praying for an approval~

This week has been pretty tough. We really expected to hear, "make plans, it's time to travel to meet your baby girl". Waiting is incredibly hard. This is the point where our faith is put to the test. I know that God has placed this little baby in our lives! I also know that He will make this plan complete! When? At this point I guess I am on a "need to know basis", He will let me know when He thinks I need to! LOL

As I type this I am sitting in her nursery. I have started praying here at night because I will pray with her each night like my mom did with me (and tell her 100 times, no there are no monsters in the closet, well at least I asked that 100 times)... so now seems like a perfect time to get started. It is quiet in here and very peaceful. I have her precious photo and I read books to her. I know you are reading this thinking, "this woman is a loon"! It is all that I have at this point...her photos, God's comfort, hope for tomorrow and endless praying for patience and peace and our approval!

The books are great by the way. Tonight I read "The Lord is My Shepherd" by Hans Wilhelm. It is so sweet. It was a gift from my sister and it brought me a lot of comfort tonight. It follows the Psalm but in terms that a child can understand. "The Lord is my Shepherd, He gives me everything I need. He lets me rest in green pastures. He leads me to quiet pools of water. He gives me new strength when I am tired...." and the illustrations are precious. The lamb is so tiny! I love it! Thank you Suzie!

Once I make it through the books, I'll read them again or maybe start watching Baby Einstein? LOL

Please continue to pray for this process. Adoption is another word for love...and the little one I love is across the globe! I can't wait to hold her in my arms, rock her to sleep, teach her the funny songs my daddy taught me "The Animal Fair" and begin making memories together as a family!

Thank you for your prayers!
