Love is

I didn't give you the gift of life, But in my heart I know. The love I feel is deep and real, As if it had been so.

For us to have each other Is like a dream come true! No, I didn't give you The gift of life, Life gave me the gift of you. --- Unknown

Waiting, and surgery.

     We are on day 37 of our LOA wait, average wait is usually 45 days.  Right now those numbers have been all over the place some families are receiving them in 30 days and a few have been waiting over a 100(eek).  I am hoping and praying the numbers are accurate for us. :) 

     We got word this week our son Elijah, will have to have surgery :( We were informed and allowed to give our input, so we contacted a doctor here and got advice.  That advice was "heard" but not listened too.  So they are going to proceed with surgery.  It should be minor, but with a little guy, anesthesia and unknown medical care, my heart hurts.  Please be praying for him, for safety, and a quick accurate surgery with no other injuries.  My sweet sister gave me a beautiful image of Jesus holding him and talking to him through surgery.  She reminded me that even though we cannot be there God can... So I am holding to that image even though my Mommy heart wants to be with him so badly.

   Our fundraisers have so difficult lately, I am not sure why, and it has been heart wrenching.  We have been working hard to set them up and rally support to have to cancel due to lack of participation.  So we pray... and cling to our hope and faith in God.  I KNOW He is faithful... I know He is working even when I cannot see.  We did have a follow up done on our "Can our Yard" Fundraiser with KLTV and that sparked some calls from people who want to help us do fund raisers, we are so thankful and excited about that. :) Keep praying, we need wisdom and direction, we have a choice to make about a situation that will require another "leap of faith".  We need clarity and peace and we need our fundraisers to just explode :)

Thanks
Love you guys... Me
