No Call! No E-Mail! No Nothin'!

I get no news on Friday, so I am a little unhappy.

I e-mailed a friend and she made me feel a little better
about the process. You do alot of waiting.
Hmmm...In the great words of Indigo(Princess Bride) Montoya,
"I hate waiting."

Spent the weekend looking at pictures and talking to God.

Rachel comes in and notices the pictures and ask who they are of.
I don't want to tell her because I don't want her to be disappointed
if things do not work out.

Last night I was reading. Sometimes I will just pick up a book I've
already read from my shelf and open it to a random page and read
from there.

So I did this in a book called the "Unprocessed Child".
At the top of the page was a quote from Sue Monk Kidd~
" I hope you'll hear what I'm about to tell you. I hope that
you'll hear it all the way down to your toes. When you are waiting,
you're not doing nothing. You're doing the most important thing
there is. You're allowing your soul to grow up. If you can't be still
and wait, you can't become what God created you to be."

I figured that God was allowing me to end the day on a high note,
so I put the book up and went to sleep.
Surely I would hear in the morning.......

Up this morning: no e-mail, no call.

Stacy calls, "Any Word?"

"NO."

I go to the Co-op for horse feed and I am talking to God and myself
all the way home.

"What am I doing? Why am I doing it? Why haven't I been given some
sort of sign that this is TRULY your will? Why haven't we heard anything?"

I stop at the end of my drive to check the mail and in the mailbox was a
big brown folder from the PHF and in it was several pictures of
our sponsored children. 6 pictures of our"special situation."

This package wasn't supposed to be here for another 2 weeks.

So I start laughing and shaking my head.

I go inside and tell the kids what's going on, about the letter,
waiting for some reply,about me talking to God in the truck and
what was in the mailbox.

"COOL", they said.

Mary Elizabeth looked at the pictures and said , "That is my baby from China."

"Maybe", I said. "We'll see."

Got It!

Peace.
