March Visit

Just booked my tickets to go visit David mid-March. I sure wish it was to bring him home rather than just to visit, but right now just seeing the little guy sounds fantastic! A few other adopting families have recently visited, and hearing their stories have made me long to be there myself.

My parents are coming with me to Haiti while Jay, his parents, and Josh will stay in Illinois working on converting our office into a third bedroom and our basement into an office.

We're still in IBESR (that's beginning to be a dreaded word for me). I'm hoping that we may be able to do something while I'm down there to help move us along, but I'm pretty sure that waiting and praying are likely the most effective options. I got a really nice e-mail today from both our orphanage director & agency rep that helped to confirm for me that they are working very hard on our behalf. Since I'm not down there, it gets so easy for me to get skeptical, but whenever I hear from them or visit, I'm continually reminded that things are happening even though I may not be able to see them firsthand.

Anyway, time to get in travel mode! :-)

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him."
