The wait....

This is so much harder than I thought it would be...

Waiting and Waiting...
Counting days...
Comparing any and every chart I can find on China Special Needs Adoption time lines....

We are still waiting on a piece of paper from China called a LOA or LSC.  After we get that it will be more paperwork and more waiting....

I made a rule that now I can only look at time lines twice per day.  Yes, I truly had to make that rule.  I also stopped looking at so many blogs.  Too much time.  I found I was spending more time doing all that and becoming exhausted.

Then was reminded by a dear friend's blog - that the joy of the Lord is my strength! http://transparentrealmom.blogspot.com/2012/09/just-perpetually-tired.html

He already has this planned out!  He is going to get us to our precious Meisi (pronounced Maycey) in His perfect timing.

Yep, I still plead with Him nightly that our paperwork gets through quicker than "normal."
Yep, I still pray He performs some type of miracle and allows us to get to her by the end of the year.

I also know He ALWAYS answers prayer.... sometimes it is "Yes" and sometimes it is "No".

I want His will, because it is perfect and always what is best for us.
I also want to hold her, love her, tickle her, hear her laugh, hold her hand....

Please continue to pray with us that we trust our Lord to protect and comfort our sweet child until we can get there and that it would be His will for us to get to her quickly.

Thanks you for your prayers!! :)
