I am not going to loose it...instead I will pray!

Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Honestly..I AM ..on the verge of loosing it! I was out shopping this morning trying to pick up the last minute "things" we need. It was going slooow! Then got a call while I was at Target...from the boys school, to pick up Ryan who has an out of control , non-stop cough. He is going to the Dr. at 3:30. Which is also at the same time as my phone call appt. with my social worker to go over all our travel and adoption details, but it was the only appt. they had. Todd who is in a county board meeting right now is unable to be reached, but said earlier today he "should" be home around 3:15, but no way to know for sure. (trying to come up with plan B..if he is not here). On the way out from Target, rushing to pick up Ryan, I apparently almost hit a car. For the record I think it was his fault..I am not just covering myself...I would admit this ...as I have backed into car before:) I did not hit him thank goodness, but my window was down and he was not very nice to me. So ...what better to do in the car when under stress and after some stranger yells at you ...cry my eyes out!! So I did all the way to Ryan's school!

Anyways, I am concerned about Ryan's cough and hope it is related to allergies that they have said he has, but can't seem to find out what he is allergic too. He sounds like he is having trouble breathing right now! UUHHG. We had these issues before but we were hoping that having his adnoids removed would have helped. This is worse than it has ever been.

So, if you are reading this please pray that this all gets resolved quickly and we all are healthy when we leave. I was sick when I was in China the first time and had to see a hotel Dr. I wasn't a good experience and he gave me the wrong directions on my medication!! BAD!! Pray too, that God gives Todd and I patience, emotional and physical energy to get through this!!

Thank You!!

I will be praying for the whole family until this China trip is all over. I cannot wait to see Lauran and know that she is safely here and ok. Just remember, You are doing what God has called you to do. This is His will and you will all be forever blessed. Love Mom
