For about a week now I have been getting more and more depressed waiting for our precious girl. I thought that there would be no way it could happen because I am so busy and Ryan keeps me on my toes, so how could I get down? Well, it’s easy. It happens when you least expect it. It’s the little things that get to you. Then it’s the bigger things. And then you find that you just prefer to sleep. Today was a sleep day and I realized that yes, this wait is finally getting to me.

Tonight I read a blog by our forum friends Sarah and Tim. They are in Korea right now getting their baby and will soon be on their way home with him. Sarah’s been the one mainly blogging but for some reason Tim decided to blog and I am so grateful he did. He was talking about prayer and how God always answers. This is what he quoted from the bible :

1. “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”
2. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
3. “Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

BOY Did I need to hear those words!!!!! I feel terrible, as I’ve only been waiting (almost) 2 months and our friends the Conners waited 9 MONTHS for baby Drew to come home!!! I know the only way Nadra made it through was with Prayer. So THANK YOU Tim for reminding me to take my feelings to God and find strength in Him. Traveling mercies to you as you bring your adorable little boy HOME!
