Everything rides on hope now


..or so says the lyrics of a song I heard on the radio today.

This is our new mantra. What good is it to be depressed, and anxious that we just sit by the phone call waiting for an update...an update that no one seems to give us. Enough!

We are hoping. The Lord has asked us to become attached to Noelle Grace.
He asked us to love her. We do.
He asked us to provide for her. We are saving to do so and will be able to.
He asked us to pray for her. We have and continue to.
He asked us to get a house ready for her. We did.

This cannot all be for nothing, so we are hoping. We are waking up everything thinking "Is this the day that we get a phone call from the hospital? Is this the day that we get to hold our sweet baby in our arms?" So we hope. We prepare. We act as if it is going to go through.

Because that is what happens when we pray--we wait for God to answer.
And because this is what this woman needs to do to get out of bed in the morning.....hope is all I have left.
