Falling Short

Be glad my friends you don't live in our house LOL!

My humanness is so flawed, I try to keep my eyes on the Lord, knowing that this is his plan.

But oh I jsut want to have this baby in my arms.
I want to be on the plane
I want to know when I am leaving

I am so tired of the paperwork,
Tired of people's excuses,
Tired of watching others speed past us as we stand in the wrong line at the checkout.

Let's jsut say that I lack patience
My husband says that is why God keeps trying to teach me this virtue LOL!

I emailed our agency - again cc'ing in the director.
it's Wednesday - they said this was the drop dead date whether we could travel on the 16th.
Now they said it's still possible
IF
IF
IF

So my crazed self did all the kids laundry
packed Griffen's clothes
Repacked Griffen's clothes,
went and bought new suitcases (that would be easier for Tristan to push two)

This was about the time I talked to the travel agent
who informed me there were no more consulate appts in Nov ?!?!
WTH,
had some chocolate
and repacked Griffen's clothes one more time.

Yeah real effective use of my day LOL!

My soul keeps saying to Be still and trust
and my humanness keeps failing.
I see his sad face and my heart weeps
my arms ache

Oh Yeah!!

Pretty excited over here in Colorado!!  We "got our paper today!!"  according to the kids.  For those wondering - it's our last real piece of paper - we got TRAVEL APPROVAL  which means -

WE ARE GOING TO CHINA!!

We got the email while sitting in Qdoba having lunch and I almost started crying!  We asked to leave on the Dec 8th plan which means - we leave in like 15-16 days!!  With the holiday weekend we may not know until Monday but that's ok, we will plan on the 8th until we hear otherwise.

Now that;s what I call a fabulous reason to celebrate - there will soon be two less orphans in the world!
