Just throw us a bone!

We are desperate to see the light. I was at Bible study last night when I heard someone say that when you are depressed you can't even envision the light at the end of the tunnel, everything is dark. I thought about that for a long time and realized that is how we feel about our adoption. After two years, I can't imagine holding our little girl. I can't imagine putting her down in the crib and kissing her sleepy face. I can't imagine the dogs chewing on her toys or visits with her cousins. I used to see it all and slowly it fades. We are desperate for some news. We have to hold on to hope that this is not an endless journey.

Job was not angry at God; he was hurt by God. God made him stronger in the end. We aren't angry, but we are done counting it all joy when we fall into trials. What about Paul and John the Baptist? It didn't end the way they wanted we presume... with persecution, and beheading? Are their mansions just a little bit bigger on the other side?

We certainly don't know the outcome of our toils, but we have to find the strength to know that God will give us freedom from our journey. Thanks for you continued support. Dillen is now 14 months old. We haven't received any updates on her health or any new pictures since November. We will continue to post any news we get.
