A Leap of Faith

As most of you already know, we did not receive our referral on Friday. God heard the prayers and loved the prayers but it still wasn't the day for news. As I told many of my new adoption friends, I am truly very disappointed but am also feeling confident that in the end its going to all work out whether I travel with this next group or not. Maybe there is some big spiritual reason or maybe its just one of those dumb things that happen in life that don't seem to have rhyme nor reason. Either way, God will work it out for the good!

The hardest part in waiting is thinking about Jubilee and wishing I could take care of her. I have medicine, good food, open arms. All of which she is getting sparing amounts of now. If nothing else, God is requiring me to trust Him. He is, after all, the ultimate parent.

Despite no word yet, there is still a chance I can still travel in May if everything comes through quickly from here on. I don't know if this will happen, but hope is hard to squash and so I'm not going to even try. I am taking a leap of faith and doing what I can to prepare for travel in May with the next group! Last week my traveling partners and I made our way to the doctors office for our Yellow fever shot. It was our lucky day because the State of Alaska happened to be offering FREE Hepatitis A, B and Tetnus shots! We were planning on just going with the required Yellow Fever shot and Malaria pills, but we are bargain hunters and how could we refuse ANYTHING free, even if it came with serum and a long pointed spear? Four shots and four prescriptions later, we are rearing to go!

I haven't had shots in a LONG time! Actually feeling a little nervous here!
