and I pray goes out like a lamb.
I never thought I would view March as worse than February. Until 2010. February has always been our "bad" month, but I must say March has far beat February this year, and it's only the 12th!
March 1st started with me taking my Grandma to a doctor apt. and ended at St. John's hospital in STL.
March 2nd was spent at the hospital trying to help make Grandma comfortable in her pain.
March 3rd was my Grandma's open heart surgery that lasted 8+ hours...only to be told that she would not make it through the night.
March 4, 5, 6, and 7th were all spent at the hospital on edge, not sure which way Grandma would go. Lots of ups and downs, lots of tears, laughter, and memories shared between family members.
March 8th was spent on pins and needles as we awaited news on our first court date for S & B, only to find out that there was a mis-translation and we weren't actually scheduled until the 12th.
March 9, 10, and 11th were more days spent at the hospital with Grandma not making any steps forward or backward. The 10th marking one week since surgery. Just stagnant.
March 12th was another anxiety filled day waiting on news from our first REAL court date for the boys, only to find out that we failed due to a missing approval letter from the Ethiopian Government. We were told all four cases that went to court this day failed due to the same thing. It's not uncommon, but it does extend the time that we are away from our precious sons. It was a hard hit.
I know that I can make it through anything with the Lord who knows my heart and holds my soul.
Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings
You glory
And I know there'll
be days when this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to
praise You Jesus, bring the rain
I am yours regardless of the clouds that may
loom above because you are much greater than
my pain you who made a way for me suffering
your destiny so tell me whats a little rain
