Sleepless night

I have been lying in bed for a couple of hours finding it hard to sleep. After a full day, I was expecting to fall quickly to sleep but that is not happening. My mind is wondering from one thing to the next and each time coming back to the fact that it is Monday midday in Santang where Michael's orphanage is.

As I lay here I can almost visibly see him eating, playing and interacting with those around him. I pray that his nanny is holding him and giving him those occasional hugs and kisses that I so much want to give him tonight. Michael, I have so quickly fallen in love with you. With your smile, those absolutely adorable cheeks and lips. I know you will bring much joy and laughter to our family and I continually pray that I will have wisdom to know how to be a parent after God's own heart for you and also for Mandy.

Tonight our Sunday School class met and watched the "Everything is Spiritual" DVD and I was again reminded that God is the creator of all....you, me, John, Mandy and also Michael along with so many things that I will never grasp them all. As Michael's creator I am confident that God loves Michael more than I will ever come close to. He will watch over him and He will give me the patience to wait yet a few more days.

May rest come to renew me for another day. Good night
