Oh I hope, I hope!!!! I am checking your blog constantly hoping for good news... it's coming soon!!!!
hang in there! you're one whole week closer!!!!!
The CALL is coming! I just know it!
Me too!!!!
Laura & Family. I am SO happy for you. I don't get a chance to check your blog daily but as the weeks have gone by I have been able to check it now and again. The babies room is PRECIOUS! I love the saying on the wall over her bed. What a sweet thing! The bedding is adorable. You are so creative and have always been. I love you and think of you often. God Bless you and your soon to be addition!
Wow....you have the room done!!!! We haven't even started, yikes! Hope your call comes soon!
I hope your call comes soon!! Beautiful room!!
Hoping you don't have to W*** much longer. :0) Maybe you will get good news very soon.
I just wanted to share with you what I read this morning. "Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass ... Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him." (Psalm 37:4,7)
"God is never late, but He is never early." This means that God will come in with the breakthrough on His time schedule - not ours!
I love you and I can't wait for you to get Mercy's Call. Praying for you guys!
Wow. I know the post from Lulu was for you Laura but I must admitt, it just ministered to me more than she even knows. Thanks Lulu! :o) God is good.
I can't wait to meet Mercy, Laura!
Come on! It has to be soon, right? I have a feeling it's going to be smooth sailing for you! Referral, and then court opens back up! Hopefully referral to court will be super short for you!
Can't wait to hear/see who it is the Lord is bringing into your life. :) I remember the wait well. Keep hangin' on ... it's the only way to get there. Blessings, Shelly
Hoping you hear something soon!!!
becca :)
