One of my earliest cooking memories is when I was around 10 years old. I was really hungry and I was making mac & cheese. I stood by the stove, staring at the pot, wondering if the water would ever come to a boil. My mom asked me, "Have you ever heard the saying, "watched water never boils?" Every time I have been in a hurry for my water to boil, I remember that saying. I don't know if my mom made it up, or if she heard it from her mom, or where it came from. But for some reason, that saying keeps popping back into my head right now!
Any day, we will receive an e-mail telling us our first travel date. We were told we would receive it approximately ten days from the when the registration dossier was submitted. It could take longer because the people on the Committee of Education and the orphanage officials are just returning from their vacations.
It's been eight days. And I've been watching that pot of water (my e-mail inbox,) like a hawk, waiting for those magic bubbles to appear.
So, if I turn off the computer and just check it once a day, instead of 20 do you think it will happen? Hmm...maybe I'll give it a try. Who knows?
I don't know if that will help but it's worth a try. That pink polka-dotted bird on the side of your blog looks kinda tired...has he been staying up late watching for bubbles too :) Lifting it up in prayer for you, sista girl. Take care~Renee
ReplyDeleteHi, I found your blog thru your recent post on the Yahoo St P group.
ReplyDeleteOur dossier was due to be registed on 8/16, but because of Committee vacations, I'm thinking it was probably Monday the 23rd. Anyway, every day I've been telling myself the same thing, "a watched pot never boils". Still, I jump everytime I see the light flashing on my Blackberry telling me I have new email!
well looks like we will be watching a bit longer my friend,just remember it is all in Gods time. I keep saying that over and over to myself.
ReplyDeleteWe had very short notice to travel on our first trip to SP so be ready!!
