Journey to Geovany: Our Dream

KISSES IN THE WIND (The Waiting Child's Lullabye)

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams.

You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.

But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...

Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until we can be with you.

I promise you, my darling, we're doing all that we can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.

But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.

And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.

Prayer Requests

Praises...we had an incredible visit with Geovany. We really saw that God had bonded our hearts across the miles. Geovany seemed to recognize that we were his family!!
....................
That God will comfort Geovany's heart. That Geovany will know we have not abandoned him and that we are coming to get him as quickly as we can.
....................
The investigator has agreed to release our case to a judge. Please pray that he follows through and does what he said he will do.
....................
A compassionate heart in the judge who is receiving our case. May she look at it quickly and sign it off.
....................
The agent who previously managed our case in PGN is no longer there. When our case returns to them, it will be given to a new case worker. Pray this case worker does not require endless new documents, but sees the child behind our case and approves it.
....................
For the orphanage workers caring for Geovany. That they will have compassion and relay God's grace and love to our son as they care for him.

Our Dream

The digital scrapbooking club I'm a part of had a monthly challenge -- a Dream layout. It wasn't hard to come up with a topic!! The journaling reads...Dear Giovanni, We dream of the day we say "hello" without having to say "good-bye". Love, Your Family.

Another week without news. Ugh! We've heard rumors that PGN's computers are down and they are not releasing cases because they cannot log them out of the system. Crazy, crazy, crazy! I'm willing to send my computer-techie husband and our home computer to Guatemala. Maybe he can fix the problem! If not, he can certainly get them a pen and a piece of paper to start handwriting a case log!!

Enjoy your weekend. Thanks for continuing to check in on us!

Blessings,
