When life stands still...

I know a wonderful person who has been in a very long journey to get her children from Hati. Now this tragedy and she was not even aware if her children were alive or where they could be found. It really breaks my heart. Please pray for the orphanage children that were affected by this horrible earthquake. I can't imagine going through this with my child.

On another note, today I was reminded of how much we should treasure our lives...the good and the bad. I worked with a new patient who has much more life to live, and yet is so very very ill. We hope that the drugs used in this particular trial will extend the life of this person to at least 6 months to have some time with the family and we are praying that maybe, just maybe the drug will help to shrink some or all of the growing cancerous lesions.

Please thank God for your beautiful lives and live each moment to the fullest.

Have you ever given thought to adopting another baby (one easier to get) while waiting for you daughter from China? Maybe God is making it take so long because he has other things in store for you first. I have 2 friends that that have adopted children with other "priorities" in mind....but after the adoption those other "things" came to fruition...i believe because He wanted these children in their homes first. Just a thought...which I'm sure as serious as you are about this, you've probably already given great thought about.
