Wondering and Waiting

So . . . our wait begins.  Now comes the time that everything is out of our hands.  First, we'll wait for USCIS (U.S. Immigration) approval to bring Sasha home -- then, as soon as that comes through, we're ready for a quick trip to Tallahassee and then mailing out the dossier to Ukraine.  Now, we just have to sit back and trust God for things to work out in His timing.  I think about Sasha a lot -- picturing her with us, wondering if she'll like my cooking any better than her brothers and sister (hey, one can always hope!), hoping it won't be too isolating for her to have to learn a new language, even wondering if I should bring a doll or stuffed animal with us to Ukraine.  Perhaps, I'll bring both.  I think about how I need to get her clothes (I gave all of Carolyn's clothes away!), wondering what size she even wears -- how do I know what to bring with me?  LOTS of things to wonder about.  I wonder how the kids at home will feel with us gone for a month.  Wondering if I can handle being in Ukraine alone if Q comes home.  Lots to think about.  Lots to pray about.  Never too much for HIM.
