No News

No news..But we stayed busy all day. Laundry for me this morning and while I wash and dry Sandra cleans the apartment. Then we chilled a couple of hours and then John came and we headed out to the Saint Teresa crossing to pickup Noe. It is about an hour or more out there but a beautiful ride. It is at the corner of New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. One mountain range is El Paso the other Juarez. Timing was perfect and we headed back. His mom arrived here at the apartment about 20 after we did and then we headed over to the expo, Which is a big fair they have here in Juarez every year. Faith and her sister were there and 2 interns that have been at IFM for a month and are heading back to the states tomorrow. We were also looking for a boy who was adopted by an american family last year and he hadnt completed all his papers yet to stay in the states. He ran away a few months ago from Washington and had come back here. He had called and had been picked up by DIF and wanted his adoptive parents to come and get him. He said he had made a mistake. Then he ran away from DIF and is somewhere out in the city of Juarez. We thought maybe we would see him at the expo because last year we found one of the runaways there working. But no luck this time. Maybe we will check back in another week. The expo just opened and word of work might not be out yet. The fair is the place for runaways or street kids to get work in Mexico. No checks on you of any kind and no age limit. It was a day of staying busy. Not much still time to let it sink in that I heard no news today from either side. I had be feeling like this morning I was starting to sound like a repeating recording of my prayers to GOD. But over and over in the psalms David repeats himself.But tonight while I was studying the bible I felt GOD saying "Sharon what are you doing with your spare time besides waiting to hear from humans? Are you telling Sandra about your relationship with me? Are you praying with Sandra about the adoption?" I got up and changed the prayer thing right away as she prepared for bed. She knows I read the bible, she sees me. She knows from therapy that Hap and I took a year of prayer about the adoption before making our final decision. SO, I know GOD has given us this daughter to honor him. I want her to have a praying mother.I want her to learn to pray. I have never been one to pray much publicly but it is time to change that. I missed that with our son. I didnt become a christian until his late teens. GOD has given us one of the fatherless...He wants her for himself. We are just the tool. To guide her. To be an example..And I intend on listening to what I felt in my heart today. Like I have said before GOD has given us this time here to prepare me. I need to focus more of my time on what it is I am suppose to be doing for God instead of waiting on news each day. LORD, give me the strength and courage to step out and be the GODLY woman to a daughter that you have brought us together to be. Help me to show her the love I have for you and the trust in you that I have. That you do head our house so she will learn to also be a servant of yours. I give Sandra to you GOD. Please let me be able to hear you. Thank you for what you are doing and for being patience with me..In the name of JESUS, amen

Hap, I miss you very very much, Thank you for understanding today how much spending time with other americans and chat time helps me. I really missed hear your voice as much today. We will make up for it tomorrow. Thank you for being such a wonderful husband and man of GOD. I love you.

  1. Good morning, hope you had a good night.I know it's hard to sleep when your being slowly cooked.you will be well done when you get home in more ways then one.I am glad you are praying with Sandra,I always enjoy listening to your prayers they share your heart.God has placed me as the head of our spiritual life,he wants to be the center,the center of everything.I pray that together we will keep him there. Being seperated from you guys is is like being in limbo just going thru the motions.takeing care of business.I pray that the Lord in his great mercy will soon fill the void.I miss you guys alot but love you more.In god's love and time I will see you soon. Hap
