Nerves of ... Not Steel...Maybe Plastic

I am so nervous. I keep thinking of all that I could forget, or all that could happen. I am trying to focus on the day I see her face and nothing else. BUT there's all these little details that get in the way, like socks and undies. It seems so silly in light of all we've been through, but these are the things keeping me up at night.

I just read blogs of some families who have their children home now. It helps to see the videos of their little ones playing in their own back yards. Lord, help me to remember that in the end our little girl is coming HOME!!!!

I am praying that God gives me the strength I need to make it through. I know He will. Through out this whole process, without His strength I would have given up!

Please pray for our G&R to be scheduled Halloween or earlier. I know God hears you, my friends.

I didn't realize your G&R hasn't been scheduled. Our agency will not allow me to go until the G&R is set. Our agency just received 4 more approvals (last night) in Quang Nam, so the pressure is on for QN to get these G&R's set and stop their delays.

Our paperwork is in process to have our G&R set when we arrive. There is a delay currently, no biggie just a paperwork transfer issue. Our in-country associate is going to Tam Ky Wednesday to get it on the move.

God HAS gotten you this far, my dear. There is nothing to fear, because....Fear is not of the Lord...... All is going to go great! I'm excited for you and your family, and your beautiful little girl..... What a wonderful day you're about to have! Just try to stay calm..... if you get too worked up, you might not be able to take it all in like God would have you to. Slow down, take it all in... every beautiful, long awaited, God appointed moment. I'm so excited for you! And YES YES YES.....I will be praying for you and your breath taking journey! Love ya Mon!

Our family and our church will be praying very hard for you while you are gone. What an exciting and incredible time the next few weeks will be for you. Not everything will go perfect, but just continue to be patient, because the Lord will deliver what He has promised. We love you guys! The Nivens'

If you guys are taking a laptop, would you please email me and let me know if/when you are able to get your G&R appointment and also what hotel is best in Tam Ky. QN is not giving out any G&R appointments for my agency and they are not getting answers as to why the delay. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am numb and just sick about the delay and want my boy home. guateangel@msn.com
