More things to do..while we wait

Well I contacted the FBI office in Virginia, expressing my concern as to why it was taking so long for our prints to be returned. They finally responded apologetically, and sayed we'd have them by this weekend, HOOORAY! Hmmmm..a little asking doesn't hurt I guess.

Also, since I have declared myself as a 'crazy impatient person' I am going to start on Hope's life book...which should keep my quite occupied. I am not very good at scrapbooking and stuff..but I am going to try my best and keep it simple but thorough.

Any ideas as to how or when you guys started yours, for your adopted children?

I guess that is it for this post. It's been a quiet fall so far in the adoption world of Russia...it doesn't worry me, but I do wonder what is to happen this winter, and if I should just remain laid back about it and carry on as normal...or do I put off vacationing plans or Disney plans? I feel so pathetic, there are families who have waited soooooooooooooo much longer and are sooooo coooooool about things..and here I am pouting after only a few months...hehe spoiled me!

Well that's IA for you;)

MY SIS & I

SAdness..

I am just very very sad these days...I feel as though I have been doing nothing but grieving. Also, every new day and encounter just turns into something sadder for me. I am not taking the world's problems on my shoulders..because, trust me, mine are quite large enough! My uncle Arturo's case just gets worse and more complex with each passing moment. My family's grief has just spread out and turned into individual, vulnerability and darkness...with me trying to catch everyone and lift them..leaving me weak and exhausted..and sad..again. This adoption has also made my head spin at times..such strange twists of events..like the wheather..south Florida wheather even..totally unpredictable! YA YA YA...that's IA for you..bla bla bla..its torture.

My sister just found out that she is having another boy, who may have cysts in his brain (choroid plexus). I don't want to go into too much detail because it is just too painful for me right now..I am having one of those 'can't really breathe' moments. I know if we pray these cysts will disapear (as the doctor said they could by 28 weeks)..but if it is God's will that they don't, then there is a reson for everything and my sister will have him and raise him no matter what. Please pray for my family in this time of test & grief.
Health is all that is important...I hurt for my sis, because I just feel her young life has been nothing but a long rocky road. It just pains me..to see her not getting all that she deserves in this life; she is abeautiful person, inside and outside..and she deserves the best. I have my days where I wish we could switch, or I rather take on her burdens then see her go through them..she's my lil sis..I just want to protect her.


I give it to you LORD ALMIGHTY...I give my burdens and her burdens to you..please lift her up and bless her in a MIGHTY WAY GOD.



AMEN

LUKE 11:5-13 "ASK, SEEK, KNOCK!"

[5] Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, [6] because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.'

[7] "Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' [8] I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

[9] "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. [10] For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

[11] "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead? [12] Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? [13] If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"
