Ok Kids,
Only God knows what's going to happen in the future. We could plan and plan and plan and still, if it's not in His plan our plan does not come to pass. Missed connections and opportunities is God's hand at work, guiding us to where we need to be. That much I've learned in the past couple of years. I've come to accept things I cannot change.
Lately I've been focusing on a scripture from Ecclesiastes 7:8-9
"Better is the end of a thing than the beginning of it, and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. Do not be quick in spirit to be angry or vexed, for anger and vexation lodge in the bosom of fools"
For a good part of the winter of 2008/9 I focused on the doors that were closed in my life, as if I was too proud to admit that I couldn't make Brazil happen. So proud in fact that I completely missed a door that, while not busted wide open, was open enough for me to get my foot in. I think I'm going to K k k k Kathmandu -- it's really really where I'm going to.... :)
I'll keep you posted!

Feliz Ano Novo!
Oi Bebes,
Everynight before I go to bed I pray for you guys and for all the children caught up situations such as ours. I hope that in 2009 things will be different but for now I don't have anything new to report. It's all still the same. Nothing is happening between my country and yours except that a bunch of grown-ups cannot seem to work out some wording on a letter which means nothing in the bigger scheme of things. I am very upset over this. I know you kids need a loving family, a place to call home, to grow and learn, to share and love. If I could change it in a minute I would, for all the orphans in the world but I can't. I know that your country is doing what they feel is the right thing regarding the wording and I don't see why my country can't just say "OK Brasil, have it your way". Sometimes adults are not that smart. To have children in need and have adults in want (so to speak) and not put them together to live happily ever after just doesn't make any sense to me.
So for now, as always talk to God and ask him for favors, ask him for a family and a stable loving environment, He'll give it to you I'm sure, one way or another...
