i hate when i forget things

well, this was supposed to be the blog post about what a great time we had on friday night celebrating israel's finalization with his peeps, but i forgot the camera! we took pix, but you'll have to wait at least until wednesday to see them.
thank you to all of you for the support, prayers, love and encouragement over this past year. it's hard to believe that at this time last year, though we were waiting for a call, we had no idea that there was this beautiful baby that would come into our lives and change everything forever. yeah, it's really cool that God can create planets out of nothing, but it amazes me to see the ways he orchestrates people and times and places to intersect and bring blessings. You go, God!
we do ask for prayers as we want to go down this road again and adopt more children (did i really say that in the plural?). israel's adoption took just slightly longer than the national average. we'd like to reduce that time, but are waiting to see what God has in store.

Father, thank You for all the people you've placed in my path--the good, the bad and the ugly. no matter how they've touched me, i am who i am because of that interaction. i pray that you very quickly bring another such interaction with a baby that will bear my name. and, i ask sincerely that you bring this baby in a time frame that seems quick to me, not necessarily quick according to your "a thousand years is like a day".
