Rumors Of A Vacation And Referrals
We had a vacation planned to take Mattie on in June, and have reservations. We have had no time off to speak of since Oct. 06, and my dear husband needs a break - I know he does. So, what to do? We are rebels and we're going on that vacation (our 5th "last vacation without Mattie!").
I have to confess: I was thinking about our trip to China in terms of 'vacation time' until someone suggested...
"is a woman giving birth on a vacation? Is her husband on vaca.? China is not a vacation....it will be a wonderful, life changing and life altering experience in another country...and not a vacation. You will not feel refreshed when you come home and you should try to take some time off, before you go, if you possibly can..."
WOW! It seems even I have trouble relating that this is like being 6,7,8or 9 months pregnant (are you laughing? I hope I covered all the possibilities there). Oh how exciting - we're going to have a baby!!!!
There are rumors! Of a big batch of referrals that should arrive in the first 2 weeks of June. A batch that might include us. It's hard not to get swept away in that... So, in light of the rumors, and since lately the Lord has been touching my heart through songs...I just wanted to say that whether we get our referral soon, or we do not get it anytime soon:
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord - Blessed be Your name, Jesus
Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be Your glorious name
Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be Your glorious name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord - Blessed be Your name, Jesus
Blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be Your glorious name

Hi Tressa, I've not been to your web sit in a while. I've had a lot of problems at home but anyway go on your vacation. You're now 18 months pregnant and you and Alan deserve the time to your selves. It's been a long hard road to Mattie and you need to refresh before she comes home. Even if you get your referral this coming month(yes dear Lord let it be)or in July, you will not travel until Aug. or Sept.. Hope things are fine over there and have a good time on vacation. Love & Hugs Dee
