Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise Him,
my Savior and my God.
Each step closer to Kate, makes it emotionally harder and harder to wait. Sometimes I wonder if this is really for real!? I feel like I'm losing it..... I just want to move on already!!! This endless waiting and forever expecting is tough on the nerves! We are now "in the clear". My phone just needs to ring.... Every day that passes, we say, "maybe tomorrow......".

I am praying part of Psalm 98 for you..."Oh sing to the LORD a new song for He has done marvelous things!" And I know that the marvelous deeds will cause you to sing out Psalm 111: "Praise the LORD! I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. Great re the works of the LORD, studied by all ho delight in them. Full of splendor and majsty is His work, and His righteousness endures forever. He has caused Hi wondrous works to be remembered; he LORD is gracious and merciful. He provides food for those who fear Him; he remembers His covenant forever. He has shown His people the power of His works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations. The works of His hands are faithful and just; all His precepts are trustworthy; they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. He sent redemption to His people; He has commanded His covenant forever. Holy and awesome is His name! The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!" I know God wants His mighty works to be remembered...and sometimes we remember best what we have labored hardest to endure. I pray that you will not be downcast, but that you would experience the Lord's mercy in bringing your little one home. What you are sowing in tears now, you will reap in joy very soon! Blessings,Jill
Praying for that TC Chelle! I can't imagine how hard this part of the wait is- I think of you daily!

Hi Chelle,
I know EXACTLY what you're feeling right now. As exciting as this part is, the botttom line is - your daughter is over in Korea and you are here. I think for me, my emotions reached a "peak" as we sat on the airplane, ready to depart for Korea. It's so surreal - it hits you hard. You are FINALLY going to be united.
Weekend are tough, aren't they? I used to hate the weekends b/c I knew we wouldn't hear anything from our agency. I never thought I would look forward to MOndays as much as I did during the end stages of this journey!!
