I am ready for LOA! This has been the hardest part of the journey so far, waiting for our Letter of Approval from China. THE letter which basically says, SHE'S YOURS! I can only compare it to being in my ninth month and any day for labor to begin. Today I sat next to a very sweet young woman, (I say young because I am sure she's probably ten years younger than me), who is pregnant,waiting any day for the "big day" to happen for her. I'm fairly sure we are the same size! I sure hope when the Fed Ex guy shows up, he takes at least 8 pounds, 5 ounces with him! That's only fair, right? Yesterday we went to a concert for Wyatt. He made all district chorus for junior high! I could barely concentrate as there were two little Chinese kids in the front row. They were SO adorable. I wanted to stalk their parents, ask them which province their children were from but I didn't. See I have learned that while it IS appropriate to ask a new mom about her baby, when you are obviously nine months pregnant yourself, it is NOT appropriate to walk up to strangers and start questioning them about their internationally adopted children just because you can't stand waiting one more moment for news about your child! Oh, their shiny dark black hair, and those sweet little dark eyes! Clearly I am ready....
Habakkuk 2:3 (NLT)
This vision is for a future time.
It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,
for it will surely take place.
It will not be delayed.
