... still waiting ...

I'm not one to post everyday but as of late I've had my fair share of internal emotions. Within the last two weeks I've been anxiously waiting to hear we have received a "court date" in Ghana. BUT, to no avail, we have heard very little. I have nothing to show for my very overdue pregnancy. No swollen ankles. No giant tummy. No back aches. BUT maybe, just maybe, my body knows. My brain knows, so maybe it's telling my body ... get ready and thus, the roller coaster of undecipherable feelings.
Our friends landed in Ghana two nights ago ... they have met their children!!! The long awaited meeting has finally happened and I can honestly say I have choked up tears reading their blog and seeing how excited each of them are. The kids and parents combined. God has prepared their family in an obvious way. A sense of relief was lifted once I knew they had landed and met their kiddos. Strange, but maybe we all share emotions so tightly knowing what each one of us are going through.
I'm not complaining, just sharing! I have more to do before my precious faces arrive! More to do than I can even think of. The time is good ... with a tear welled up, I can honestly say "Mommy simply wants to kiss and hug her children!" This feeling never leaves. I anxiously wait for me to share my love, God's love, with HIS children and the children he has so graciously given us.
