Last week the word "Faith" kept popping up. I watched a cute new show called Eli Stone and George Michael was on there singing "You've got to have Faith". I was at a shower this weekend and someone said "I guess you just have to have Faith, that everything is working out the way it should." Then I heard it again on "The Bucket list".
So even though my dossier is in St. Louis just waiting for the last bit of paperwork, I have to have faith that this slow down is for a reason. That the time is just not yet right. I have to have faith!

....and sometimes we have Greta...Bogie's Mom
We witness a miracle every time a child enters into life, But those who make their journey home across time & miles, growing within the hearts of those who wait to love them, are carried on the wings of destiny & placed among us by God's very own hands. -K Larson-

Faith - that awesome word that means so much and is yet sometimes so illusive. You have it, it shines through!
Checking in with you and thinking of you. Just to let you know!
My name is Kathryn. I just sent my application to CHI. Could I e-mail you and ask you some questions about the dossier? I would like to start working on it as soon as possible. My e-mail address is preshsmith@hotmail.com? Could you send me your e-mail address?
Thanks so much!
Kathryn
Sometimes faith seems hard but when you really need it, it is always there. I agree with Julie that it shows through in your blog. Your little boy is waiting out there somewhere and you will meet him at the right time.
