Getting Excited~

     Hello all!  Just thought Id write while we wait!  We are on day 5 for the wait on getting Travel Approval, not like I am counting or anything:)  IM ABSOLUTELY COUNTING!!!!!  It is all part of the process..I think they should tell you that from the beginning...Oh no they dont have too, it comes VERY natural!            
     Anyway, I have been reading all kinds of posts on Rumor Queen, a chat group for adopting parents of Chinese children, and I am ready to start getting ideas for freezer type dinners to have ready for when we get home.  Not only will be very tired from the trip but also we will have jet lag pretty bad I hear!  Fun!  Any suggestions would be very helpful!!
     I also have been very emotional lately.  OK, for those of you know who know me, I am one that cries!  Although, I am in my last trimester of my paper pregnancy, so its ok, right?!?  Anyway, my Mom felt that God was calling her to make some prayer shawls for some of the children in Mya's orphanage, or as Grammy calls them, Mya's friends..which of course made me cry by her calling them her friends!  So, Grammy went to her church and asked her friends that she crotchet's with if they would want to help.  They, of course, wanted to and it is now being called a "new ministry" at their church!  Grammy called me today and said that as of this morning, there were 14 prayer shawls sitting at the alter for the church to pray over.  The pastor mentioned that these prayer shawls were going around the world to China because we were adopting our little girl from there!  So, around 50 or so people came to the alter and laid hands and prayed for the orphans who will be connected through their new prayer shawls!  My prayer is that these children will find forever families in the near future, that they will have a life of love and happiness, and most importantly that they will know JESUS as their personal SAVIOR someday!!!
     Thank you Grammy for your listening heart and being called for this ministry opportunity!!!  May you, your church and the other ladies be blessed for your servants heart!!  God Bless!


Thanks Mindy
