The tension in this hotel room is thick. We are pacing the floor. Back and forth, back and forth. We have been in here for 3 hours watching the clock go tick-tock, tick-tock. We have been praying that Lily would have safe travels to Taiyuan.
Pray for my heart, that it won't bust wide open!! I know that I will have a peace that surpasses all understanding. I know it. I have had it before, in a time, when I thought I wouldn't be able to take another breath. I have no doubt that it will be there today.
OK, so Carlton and I are gonna go grab a little bite to eat. Then, we go to the lobby to review paperwork. Then......off to the Civil Affairs Office. Oh, me, my hands are shaking as I type this.
The next post will be of our daughter.
love you all,
aimee

As I head off to bed here in California (with a rare snowfall to boot!), I will be praying for all of you. And, if I have to get up with a kid in the middle of the night - likely - you'd better believe I'll be checking your blog!!! I'm gonna purposely leave the computer on so I can check easily...
Have a blast!
