17 of 31

Today is my beautiful daughter Anah's birthday. She turned 11 without her Mommy and Daddy. It makes me sad, I had hoped to have her home with us, at the least I had hoped to be with her there. I know God's timing is always perfect, but MY perfect would have been with my daughter, lol. God really does know best, I don't doubt that. I don't have the money I need to live for the two weeks while we are there, so that could be why God's timing isn't now, He knows I would tweak if I had my travel date and no cash! Please pray that the funds we have been expecting for a couple weeks, FINALLY come in!

I don't imagine Anah will celebrate her birthday, I don't think they do that in the orphanage, so we will still do it when we are together. We will have to keep it low key anyway, she's very shy they say. I really did want to be with her to hold and kiss her, to love her and enjoy the day that God brought her into this world. I still am enjoying it, so thankful that God has given her to us, I just would like to be with her in person. I am blessed that I am in a warm home with a loving family, I just soooo want her here too.

I guess I'll sign off now, I'm getting a bit weepy thinking about her. God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good.
