It's tomorrow already!

I pray for my little guy continually.  I ask the Lord to provide nourishing food and clean drinking water for him today.  I want him to have something special happen today, like spending extra time outside if that's important to him.  Or perhaps the Lord would cause someone today to say something to Judah that shows him love and kindness.  I ask that his little heart would already begin to long for us specifically so that when we meet for the first time he is not afraid but knows that we forever love him.  Recently, I have begun again using my Power of a Praying Parent book.  I've added to my daily prayers for Judah to love the Lord with his whole heart!  Much of this I pray through tears.

The other night, as I was once again thinking and praying for Judah, I could not sleep.  I just had to come back downstairs and find out what time it was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.  It was 3:30am.  It was already tomorrow for my guy.  I began praying that he was safe, warm, clean, and comfortable.  That his dreams were sweet and his sleep deep and restful.  As I am writing this post, it is now 10:46pm for him.  I am picturing him sleeping on his side, curled up, with sweet little cherub cheeks resting on his bed.  

Our family has much to trust the Lord with... endless paperwork, time to pass quickly, finances, safety in travel, adjustments for each of us, a supernatural and instant bonding with Judah.  Most of all, I am asking that you join us in prayer for Judah.  Whenever the Simontons come to your mind, would you please pray?
