To the Waiting Families

I remember how hard Christmas was when I was nearing the end of my wait for Elizabeth and just want you to know I am thinking of you and hope your wait speeds up. I am amazed and humbled by your strength and faith. My wait seemed like forever but it was only 14 months. Some of the waiting families have been waiting for 3 years.

God Bless You All!

This song makes me cry but it cuts to the chase. Its by Brad Avery. Not sure if he is still with Third Day or not but its worth the listen.

Merry Christmas

Thank you for visiting over on our site. I'm glad to have found you--I remember following your journey to China for your sweet Isabella. It looks like everyone is thriving!

Joan,
Thanks for posting the link to this video. Yes, I cried! Here's hoping this is my last Christmas without my little one. She may not be in my arms yet but she is in my heart!!
