It seems on these boards that for every piece of good news, we hear a piece of bad news, too.

I sometimes had a hard time watching other people get good news while I was waiting. I felt bad because I wanted the good news too. And now that I'm out, I have a hard time seeing people getting previos while I'm out. I feel bad for having good news while friends -- some of whom have waited so much longer -- still have to wait. And I find myself worrying that something "bad" can still happen while I'm waiting for orange and pink.

And so I'm sending up a prayer for everyone waiting. Please grant us the patience to know that it will be TOTALLY worth the wait.

It will be totally worth the wait!!

You are so sweet to be thinking of others.

It is hard to wait while others get out, but I think everyone knows that God works in mysterious ways, he's knows what he is doing and everyone's children will come home in his perfect timing.

Nothing bad is going to happen...Nothing God can't get your through that is!!

I feel the same way. I remember the feeling of hearing others' good news while I felt like we were stuck. When you do get the good news, it is awesome but you still think of all those waiting and at the same time you are still very worried about the next step in the process.

Dear Lord, please be with all the waiting families and babies and give us all a sense of peace while we wait through this process. It is my sincere prayer that through you, speedy PINKS will come to us all.

I have felt the same way. I say a prayer for all my forum friends every day! It is definitely worth the wait!!

I feel that way, too:
-guilty b/c Cristian is home
-sick to my stomach every time I see a KO or missed BMI or the latest PGN fiasco (I'm not great at blessing my enemies)
-and that sinking feeling when I think of folks in general just waiting, and the children waiting. I get frustrated and angry at the whole situation.
-and...please don't anybody flame me, but I also am jealous sometimes, too...b/c even tho the wait is absolutely AWFUL and dragged out...at least they WILL eventually come home. I left one in Guat that will not be coming home. It's hard for me to not be bitter.
Moral of the story is: At least there is still the hope that they WILL come home. Some of us don't have that. I even had one person say to me, 'well at least you got one home'....oh yeah that helps
YES, they are worth the wait and YES the wait is gueling...but....WAIT, they WILL come home. That in itself is so much to be thankful for.
