The Red Thread

Once our eyes have been opened we can't pretend that
we don't know what to do; for God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls
knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs
24:12

Ooh Child

I know I have posted this before but the love I feel for a little girl I have never held, never seen in person, never laughed with, or read to continues to tug at my heart.  As each day passes I realize she is a day older and a day I have missed.  It seems so ridiculous the paper work is done, she is ours, and we can not go get her.

Today on the radio I heard one of my favorite songs:  Ooh Child (Five Stairsteps) and so many emotions rushed over me. 

Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll get brighter
Ooh-oo child, things are gonna get easier
Ooh-oo child, things'll be brighter

Some day, yeah
We'll put it together and we'll get it all done
Some day
When your head is much lighter
Some day, yeah
We'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun
Some day
When the world is much brighter
 
We pray for our TA to arrive as soon as possible and hope that God will give us patience.  To most of you a few weeks may not seem like much as we have been in this process for 11 months.  But to us she is already part of our family and we know she should be here getting to know her new family and hopefully absorbing the love we have for her.
 
Please pray for our Travel Approval to come as soon as possible.  We also pray for additional funds to cover some of our travel costs.  God is good and I know he will continue to guide us and provide for us.
