Then today, I tried to relay this story to my husband on the way to church and that made me cry, too. <BR/><BR/>I'm so thankful for the beautiful child I hold this Christmas, but my heart still aches for the child we await. Here's to an awesome 2008 for all of us. Bring on the referrals!!!

I'm being good and holding back from Gymboree, so there's no little bitty cute clothes to be happy about either. I've passed up all of their $15 Jingle Deals this year and each time I resist the Gymboree deal it's about as painful as a good eyebrow waxing!<BR/><BR/>We are going over river and through the woods to Grandma's house tomorrow to be with family. :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282047182701941030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223550408107171736.post-9141885226538969242007-12-21T19:57:00.000-05:002007-12-21T19:57:00.000-05:00So, is the parallel that you've actually gotten a ...So, is the parallel that you've actually gotten a "letter" (read referral) and that you'll soon be on your way to "Grandma's house" (read Taiwan) to pick-up "Lisa Lynn" (read Hannah Claire)??<BR/><BR/>I got to your blog from Amy's (Waiting for Lauren Ling) and I've been waiting here patiently in Oregon for news of your referral. You've been quiet for a week now- and I'm hoping for *the best* news, I guess I'm an eternal optimist.<BR/><BR/>And if I'm wrong (or if I'm right), I'm sending lots of holiday warmth your way... I know how hard the waiting can be.<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316405560345567329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223550408107171736.post-71711771725994567102007-12-21T18:10:00.000-05:002007-12-21T18:10:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh.

Hooray for grandmas to always come through. :)<BR/><BR/>Here's a parallel: God has a "letter" for you about this gift of Miss Hannah Claire - it's the story He wrote before you or she even existed, about the way He would bring you together to become a family. You just haven't gotten to the end of the letter yet. :)<BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>RebeccaRebecca Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05963057412380331638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223550408107171736.post-37786859976198953252007-12-21T08:23:00.000-05:002007-12-21T08:23:00.000-05:00Well that's easy!
