Well, pretty soon I will be heading to Ghana.  Not to bring our little one home, but to file some necessary paperwork.  I will be gone for 1 week.  I will get to spend my days with Arama and the other children at the orphanage.  I am going to bring some crafts to do with all of the children.

I can't wait to meet our daughter!  A few days ago, she said to Anita (our adoption coordinator) "Tell my mommy I love her, okay?"

It is going to be difficult to not bring her home with me.  But, hopefully I will return to Ghana in month and bring her home then.

There are so many ups & downs in adoptions.  Of ten there are delays and other things that are out of our control.

But, through it all God is with us.  He has given me peace.  During this waiting time my love for Arama has grown, so I know there is a purpose of the waiting time.  He works on our mommy hearts, to love and welcome children that did not come from our womb, but from our hearts.

I am thinking about stopping my blog.  Or, there just might not be too many more entries.  With full hands and a full heart, I don't have much time for blogging anymore.  When Arama comes home, I want to devote all of my attention to her and  my other children.

I love being a wife to Ken and a mother &  teacher to my children.

Often, people seem to be in awe of my life.  When they ask  the typical question "How do you do it?" My answer is "You know when you are in God's will or when it's your calling, because you don't feel burdened, you feel blessed."

God is so good.  He has blessed me indeed.
