It's also practice in exercising our roller coaster of emotions during our years of parenting. My prayers continue for you and Charlie.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812120357608111334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-80741505012616192382010-05-22T19:56:13.288-07:002010-05-22T19:56:13.288-07:00The roller coaster ride is so hard....just when yo...The roller coaster ride is so hard....just when you think the ride is finally over and you can breath easy, you drop down another hill in surprise or start a slow climb to ride it again....and we don't get off the ride until we're home with our child. <br /><br />Hand in there, Sissy. We almost pulled out of the China program several times while we saw our wait grow and grow from the 6 months we were expecting to a world of unknown timelines - just like domestic. <br /><br />And having waiting for #2, I truly think that the wait for child #1 is so much harder. That longing to have a child is so strong and there is nothing we can do to bring it about but wait. It is the hardest thing we've ever faced as individuals or as a married couple. You will continue to grow in the Lord as well as a married couple through this journey. And you will eventually be able to share all the lessons you learned with your children.<br /><br />Praying for you...MaMaNinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993894935844900301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-20932464654891322952010-05-22T13:51:07.401-07:002010-05-22T13:51:07.401-07:00:( ... chin up ... to better days ahead!:( ... chin up ... to better days ahead!KThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675117636370455435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-70751604205797949672010-05-22T13:50:14.233-07:002010-05-22T13:50:14.233-07:00Maybe the relative quickness of your match last ye...Maybe the relative quickness of your match last year was a way for God to show you you WILL be a terrific mother, and to hold on to HOPE for the wait you had ahead of you. I'm so sorry that this journey is so difficult and full of the highs and lows (I agree that it would be easier if it were just a stagnant medium.)Amy @ This Cross I Embracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766112822487858490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-17338696536552496772010-05-22T13:14:36.756-07:002010-05-22T13:14:36.756-07:00I'm so sorry.I'm so sorry.Bailey's Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752350373632902394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8487775382188777638.post-71318754115564319462010-05-22T12:26:19.013-07:002010-05-22T12:26:19.013-07:00You're right, life *does* goes on.
