I began with a friend's adoption blog and found myself clicking on linked sites, eager to read more! <BR/><BR/>You and your family are so beautiful, and I've been touched reading your story. I'm living in Guatemala right now as well, though in the western highlands, as a Peace Corps volunteer. <BR/><BR/>I'm coming to Antigua next weekend and would like to bring you a little something, if I may. Would you email me sometime this week, if it's not too weird for you to get in touch with a stranger? <BR/><BR/>Melissa<BR/>m a c u d d y (at) gmail.com<BR/>(To email me, take out the spaces in the name above!)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14057201846562795159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107420622921812482.post-35324036886815784932008-09-04T13:47:00.000-05:002008-09-04T13:47:00.000-05:00Here's the Renap Procedure to help with understand...Here's the Renap Procedure to help with understanding the time process:<BR/><BR/>RENAP INTERNAL PROCEDURE:<BR/>The following are the steps that your file is going to pass through during the RENAP stage process.<BR/>1.

(she is not reading it in order obviously!) "Patience is a hard discipline. It is not just waiting until something happens over which we have no control: the arrival of the bus, the end of the rain, the return of a friend, the resolution of a conflict. Patience is not a waiting passivity until someone else does something. Patience asks us to live the moment to the fullest, to be completely present to the moment, to taste the here and now, to be where we are. When we are impatient, we try to get away from where we are. We behave as if the real thing will happen tomorrow, later and somewhere else. Let's be patient and trust that the treasure we look for is hidden in the ground on which we stand."<BR/><BR/>What I realized from this tid bit is that when I do not "stay in today", every moment of today, I miss the One who is I Am. <BR/><BR/>I so constantly am hurrying the Lord in prayer for you, us, and everyone else on my prayer list. He has perfect timming, He is never early, I have never heard of being late, only right on time.<BR/><BR/>We do pray for the girls to come home soon so you can be reunited and share each moment together, in the mean time know you are right where God wants you and needs you for one of His greater purposes.<BR/><BR/>In Him,<BR/>Melanie ColsonHeaven Sent Hatianshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026447776704227102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107420622921812482.post-4958365313617861762008-09-03T16:27:00.000-05:002008-09-03T16:27:00.000-05:00go to www.prayforjoseph.blogspot.com please pray f...go to www.prayforjoseph.blogspot.com please pray for them as well. loving you. <BR/><BR/>and tell renap this is what i have to say to them:<BR/><BR/>#%H(@!) @~!$$KD SJT&*^%$ $( #@% $^%HJITE %(^)#@<BR/><BR/>=)Ali Tannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897936047603453804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107420622921812482.post-54024712501408328762008-09-03T15:11:00.000-05:002008-09-03T15:11:00.000-05:00You are amazing to be there with your sweet.

I am praying for you and have asked friends to pray for you and Eliana's case as well. We will continue to ask our Father to speed your case through ....so that you can be united as a family. Gracie was in the Eagles Nest Home in Solala. If you get a chance to go there I think you would be blessed. Know that I am praying for you and I am committed to do so daily.<BR/>Janie RiderJanie Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17313024749912096840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4107420622921812482.post-67574393350721746762008-09-03T09:49:00.000-05:002008-09-03T09:49:00.000-05:00Oh Lindsey, I understand your wait.
