No one mentioned...

Ok, everyone has mentioned that the night of their court appointment not sleeping well. Being excited and anxious, having a hard time calming down to rest. No one mentioned not sleeping well for days before it! Our court date is tonight. December 1 in Ethiopia. I was fully expecting to not sleep well tonight. To feel excited and anxious, having a hard time calming down. I was not expecting for it to start a few days before. Last night is the first night I have slept horribly, the others have been, eh..., ok. I have spent the last 4 days or so, non stop thing about, praying over, crying about, (well you get he picture), this court date. I am praying that God answers our prayers and we pass the first time around. I am trying with all I am to remind myself (almost constantly) of what I already firmly know - God is in Control! He has perfect timing. He is going to bring our Baby M home at the perfect allotted time. I am just a tad impatient and want him home now!!! So, all this to say, please join with us in prayer tonight that our court date goes quickly and smoothly, that we pass the first time, and that God grant us sleep tonight!

Also, pray for Rebecca and Dodd as they return to court as well Dec. 1 with us. It would be great to travel with them, getting to know them in person. It's fun to think what a small world it is as we have people in common. Dodd (I believe) used to work with Dan's brother in law. So, that was our first connection in this wonderful world of blogging.

Ok, so now that I have rambled on, and it is time to head to work, please pray for all of us and those in the following week. There is a huge group of us waiting to hear about our court results! Thanks.
