Storms of various kinds.....

This weekend we got a snow storm in our area. That is very unusual for us. We got around 5-7 inches and enjoyed it for the day. Then it melted just as fast it came. Today starts a new week as we engage in "brain storming" sessions to raise the necessary funds for our adoption. We have been in a brief season of "distraction" that has seen many different situations screaming for our attention. Staying focused has been a challenge but we continue to proclaim the Lord's direction, goodness and provision. On Saturday evening, we celebrated the Chinese New Year in recognition of boys and their cultural heritage. It was a lot of fun, but incomplete as we ate lo mein, potstickers (dumplings) and stir fry, we couldn't help but wish our boys were with us. Somebody once said "Patience is a virtue"....I think its just flat overrated! Until we talk again...Russell & Karen
