waiting... and waiting.... and waiting....




Well.... it has been almost 3 weeks since we received the email from Luke's orphanage about his cleft palate surgery. I really thought we would have heard something by now about his status and the outcome of the surgery. We didn't really expect to hear anything this week though because of Chinese New Year. Most places in China are closed or running on minimum staffing. The anxiousness that has been growing over the past 3 weeks has now turned into a dull ache. Like the head cold you just can't shake. No matter what you do or where you are.... it's right there in the forefront of your mind. I know the Lord is watching over him and taking care of him. I feel confident through the Lord that his surgery went well and he is recuperating fine. I just want that email from China CONFIRMING all of these things.

We are going to pull ourselves together and HOPE for word this week. The wonderful thing is that every day that goes by is a day closer to bringing him home. PRAISE THE LORD!!!
