The Walls Came Tumbling Down


After 8 1/2 weeks of praying and expecting we just received another KO. The KO was received because the reviewer did not like the way our POA form was submitted. It has been fixed and we will be resubmitted today.

I am not even going to pretend to be joyful today when in fact I am crushed.

I still believe in miracles and know that our faith and trust is in God and His plan. Our time WILL come. Today I will work on becoming joyfully expectant, again.

Oh, that is just awful - a total kick in the gut. I don't even know what to say except that I do know how you feel. I cried an ugly cry for 48 hours straight, so if you're looking for permission for a good ol' cry, you've certainly got it from me.

Ugh...there are no words. How awful. I am so sorry. It is just too hard to have someone keep your child in another country for arbitrary reasons.

I know this comment comes late, but I just "found" your blog again after leaving my blogs list at home (Was going to transfer them all to the new lap top while in Guat.).

I'm so sorry to hear this news! Praying that you are back in PGN for the final time and will be released in record time!

(((HUGS)))from Guatemala!
