Life goes on as we wait for little Lily to join us! The house is decorated, along with the tree, and my sister is finally home from Chicago, where she teaches 5th grade in the inner city. It is wonderful to have my best friend home, though Aunt Lisa is becoming just as impatient with days passing without her niece as I am!
This past Saturday night we all went to our favorite restaurant for dinner and then to the "Living Christmas Trees" play at Grace Brethren Church...it was a HUGE production, complete with live camels, snakes and sheep, dancing, music, acting...and it played out the story of our Saviors birth and death and the "reason for the season." It was awesome, and such a powerful reminder of the amazing history we have a Christians. "Seeing" Jesus grow from an adorable little baby into that battered man on the cross gave us both such an overwhelming reminder that He did that JUST FOR ME...
Tomorrow is my last doctor's appointment...still no signs of labor! We'll let you know!
Proverbs 21:1..."The king's heart is like streams of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wishes." We keep praying that the Lord will use this time out of Haiti to continue to stretch and teach us...and that our hearts would be so moldable!
i am impatient too, and i'm not even there. i have to look every single morning, first thing, to see if i missed lily coming. i wish i could be there with you. i miss you.
