the one with the nerves

last night we arrived in Changsha. it was a short flight but very bumpy so I was a wreck! (I mentioned my fear of flying?) so, I am glad to be on the ground...oh wait...we are at the Dolton Hotel and on the 26th floor!!  it is insane!  you can feel the building move...not my favorite! swimming pool is on the 9th floor!

anyway, we are going down to breakfast and then we will drive to the civil affairs office to meet our girl.  only about 3 more hours of being a family of 7...soon we will be 8!

I am nervous.  what will she think of us?  will she like that she is being adopted?  can I handle one more?  we are such human failures, I can't handle this in my own strength, this I know...but I still worry and wish I could see the future and know it will all work out ok.  please pray as I am feeling emotional and I don't want to be a blubbering mess all day...that will definitely scare her ;)  I am sure her heart is hurting and will continue to hurt.  I hate that it is our fault.  but I pray she will heal quickly and we can comfort her well. and I pray that very soon she will understand there is One who comforts even better.

thanks friends...next post will have pictures!!
