It was one month ago today that we met Anne Pearce.....

Somehow, it seems a lot longer than that. It seems like it's been forever since we've seen her. Be prepared my blogging buds....you will have to start the countdown with me tommorow for our next trip. BTW, it's 2 weeks from tomorrow! I am past the sadness of leaving her. Now I'm onto the excitement of being with her once again! My emotions are like a roller coaster...up.....down......curve......around! It never ends. I know that you all know exactly how I feel. I find such comfort in that! Why don't we start the secret blogging business? I don't even know where to start, but it seems like a fun thing to help pass the time. Karen (Abbie's mom) may be coming to spend her spring break with me in Alabama! I am so excited. We both decided that it would be a great distraction to spend some time together while we are waiting to pick up our girls. Our contact in Guatemala told me that in all probability we could be picking up AP in late April or early May. I know that things aren't predictable down there, but it was nice to hear! Of course, I pray that will happen. I have felt in my heart that she will be home in April since the beginning. God has been so good to us, and I know He will continue to hear all our prayers. Daisy found a verse for me that reads:

"Have faith in God," Jesus answered. "I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:22-24

Let's all choose our prayers and believe that they already received. God wants us to put all our faith in Him. Sometimes my mood falters, but I remind myself that I am sitting in the palm of God's hand, and that he loves me and Anne Pearce. He takes care of my every need!

Here's to some precious Guatemalan babies coming home,
