I have to admit it. I am a little down today, and it took me by surprise. We were supposed to leave for China last Thursday. I expected to be sad that day, but I really wasn't. But last night when I was getting ready for bed I realized that if I had been in China, it would have been Monday morning, and I would have been meeting Kate for the first time. So this morning I was kind of down about that. And Ben has been a little down today too. I don't know if I have rubbed off on him or what. When I asked him what was wrong he said he was having a grumpy day. Bless his heart. Hopefully we will both be better tomorrow.
God, watch over my children. Be with Ben and Will as they go through so many changes right now. Hold Kate in your arms and whisper that her mama is coming. Keep her warm and well-fed and smiling. Help her not to be afraid when she is brought to the SWI and to Nanjing. Comfort her. Prepare her heart for You. Prepare her heart for us. Bless her foster family - let them have peace that we will take good care of her. And for her birth mother and father, wherever they are, may they someday know you, so that Kate will have the opportunity to meet them face to face one day, in your presence.

As I was reading your comments a thought popped into my head. I wonder if God feels the same way about us? I wonder if when he sees us going through struggles that there is a hint of sadness that He did not "come and get us" Thursday.
I love reading about this journey - thanks for sharing it with us.
