Waiting

We would have been landing in Ethiopia in the hour, but instead we are in a hotel near Dulles Airport.  The adoption process has felt long, but now it is going to take a little longer...

Ethiopian Airline doesn’t fly out today so we booked a flight tomorrow morning.  We’ll arrive (GOD WILLING) in Ethiopia on their Saturday morning.  

One quick story:
We encountered a woman yesterday in Newark Airport who was trying to get home.  She was disoriented from an international flight and maybe some meds to help her cope.  She had trouble walking straight and would just get up and walk away – leaving her bags.  We tried to help her get to the right gate and get the right information with all the changes brought on by the bad weather.  So we sat next to her for a little while and she got up and left her bags.  We noticed her walking around the terminal looking confused and so I decided to take her bags to her in case she got lost.  I walked along side her as she was on the people mover and tried to get her attention.  She kept walking and started to stumble into the women’s restroom while I was behind her gently trying to get her attention.  She kept moving - oblivious.  So I stood outside the women’s restroom for what seemed like forever!  (Vicki thought this was funny so she took a photo of me waiting – thanks honey.)  She came out finally – I gave her her bags and took her to the right gate.

Here is the pic with me waiting at the women’s restroom.  Stalking the stumbling woman.  :)

Thanks for your prayers and encouragement!
