No word today.................................

SO, maybe it will be tomrrow. I need to be able to focus on my "regular stuff" like home schooling 6 children, caring for Grand Baby Charlie, and the farm AND I need to focus on packing and preparing all the details for my trip to Ethiopia on Friday!!! I have a mental list of everything I need to pack, I have mental lists of what I want to see carried out / not neglected while I am gone...........but need this mental inventory put in hard copy! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Friday I will fly out to meet my friend Jill and Saturday we will leave together for Ethiopia to pick up her new daughter Lilly. Just a few minor details aside from our own adoption , right?????? SO much exciting activity, especially when I consider that TRUSTFULLY, HOPEFULLY , PRAYERFULLY I will be turning around to go back to Africa for Daniel as soon as a week later. (Charlie and I would really like for it to all unfold that way anyhow...Lord,we know its up to You!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO JILL on the 6th and HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME on the 19th!!! Thanks , Y'all. for your support and prayers with us today. NOT hearing does not mean absolutely that we didn't get to court, it could be that there was no internet to communicate what happened. So we wait another day. We've gotten quite good at waiting! Sometimes "we walk by faith and not by sight". SOMETIMES we WAIT by faith and not by sight.......like now!

We must have been thinking of you without even knowing it because we just bought a gorgeous little cross for Sydney's room that has that verse on it yesterday!!!!! Something I think I need to learn very quickly as I am very impatient.

I'm praying for you Linda, the family, and that baby who needs to get home soon.
