God is moving those mountains!
God is at work. I have always know this. I still know it. I am a true believer and I have always felt His love, His work, His presence.
But, I really feel it these days! I'm bursting with love!

Fortune cookie prediction?
I went with my family to eat Chinese food on Saturday, Feb. 21.
My fortune cookie stated:
"Remember three months from this date. Good things are in store for you."
That would be May 21. Hmmmm......

Amazing!
God has led me down a new path! I am now on a new journey and fully ready to see where it leads! I am only going to leave it at that...sorry folks, I will give more details later. But, let's just say I may need to slightly adjust the title of this blog soon.
Please continue to join me in prayer as I begin this new path. I'm nervous and anxious but I know God has a plan for me and I trust in Him. He knows exactly what He is doing and I have full faith.
To me, faith is not only believing that He can--but also knowing that He will!
Also, please continue to pray for all the orphans and waiting families.
Stay tuned.....

Maybe some news soon...
Well, as most Vietnam families are doing--I too am exploring other options. While it is hard for me to think about not going to Vietnam anytime soon to bring my child home--it is even harder to think I won't be a mom! So, my journey continues....
I pray each day that this is the path I am supposed to follow. I trust in the Lord and know that He knows my child. He knows my dreams. He knows all!
Hopefully I will have some good news to share soon! In the meantime, please continue to join me in prayer for all the orphans of the world, for all the waiting families, and for the officials in charge of bringing them together.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Merry Christmas everyone! What a wonderful day to celebrate our Lord! I am thankful for all that I have been given, all that I have experienced, and for all that I have.
2008 was a very emotional year with lots of waiting, lots of ups & downs, and lots of smiles & tears. I know it was my path and I chose to walk it....
Obviously, I hoped to have my baby home by Christmas this year but it wasn't meant to be. Not much going on in the Vietnam adoption world. Many families who recieved official approval before Sept. 1 are finally bringing thier children home-which is wonderful for them and thier families! I am happy for them.
Also, many families that I follow have chosen to switch to other countries. I am happy for them too...I hope they soon see their child's face. There are too many orphans in this world. Let's give them homes!
As for me, well... my paperwork is all still current and my USCIS paperwork was recently updated. Of course, it does seem pointless right now. I am all current for a country that is closed. That seems very wierd to me.
I just keep hoping that some miracle will happen and the US and Vietnam will come to some sort of agreement. However, no official talks have occured at this point (so I've heard). Joint Council has a new campaingn underway to encourage our senators to sign a new letter to be sent to Vietnam. Please log onto thier website and learn all about it. Every phone call, letter, etc helps since it brings awareness of the situation!! There are children in Vietnam who need homes, there are families here in USA loving those children-let's get us all matched up-PLEASE!
Right now, I am chosing to "wait" out Vietnam. I know it could be several years so I am looking into another option as well. If this other path works out, I will let everyone know--but for adoption....my heart belongs to Vietnam. I have really tried to explore other countries and cultures, but I am just not ready to commit to another country at this point. I fell in love with Vietnam and at this point, I can't imagine any other country. I know this may change later-God may direct me somewhere else, but for now--it's only Vietnam alive in my heart.
I hope Vietnam and US begin inter-country adoptions soon. If not soon, then I hope it begins eventually. Whenever that day comes, I'll be ready. Depending on when it is, what happens between now and then, and where I am in my life-I hope to eventually bring my Vietnamese princess home!
