I can't believe my sweet miracle boy is now 11! We had a big birthday weekend extravaganza.....friends spent the night, movies, food, cake, presents, popcorn, swimming and pizza! In our house, at Christmas-time, we celebrate Jesus' birth and do not exchange many gifts. And since we cannot give a gift to Jesus, we give to the "....least of these" (Math 25:40) which is usually a family or families in need. But BIRTHDAYS are a big deal.....a day to celebrate you! Here are some pics from our fun weekend!
Riley turns 11 !!
Um......yeah. This is hard. Really hard!
So we sit at nearly one month of our case at "open" status. Who is FOR these children besides us? Is there anyone in Africa trying to get this case resolved? Nameless.....faceless.....people.......out there....somewhere. I know several others who are in the same boat and some have been at it longer than us. I had no idea it would look like this.......carrying this load.....When I say this waiting is killing me......I mean it is really killing me. I feel like my emotions are raw and right on the verge of letting the floodgates burst open. Watch out :) I know God knows what He is up to but I don't have to like it, right?
