There's a little girl trembling on a cold December morn
Crying for momma's arms
At an orphanage just outside a little China town
There the forgotten are
But half a world away I hang the stockings by the fire
And dream about the day when I can finally call you mine
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
As I hang the tinsel on the tree and watch the twinkling lights
I'm warmed by the fire's glow
Outside the children tumble in a wonderland of white,
Make angels in the snow
But half a world away you try your best to fight the tears
And hope that heaven's angels come to carry you here
It's Christmas time again but you're not home
Your family is here and yet you're somewhere else alone
And so tonight I pray that God will come and hold you in his arms
And tell you from my heart I wish you Merry Christmas
Christmas is a time to celebrate the holy child
And we celebrate his perfect gift of love
He came to earth to give his life
And prepare a place for us
So we could have a home with him above
It's Christmas time again and now you're home
Your family is here so you will never be alone
So tonight before you go to sleep, I'll hold you in my arms
And I'll tell you from my heart, and I'll you from my heart
I wish you Merry Christmas

Hey Tonya,
I've been anxiously following your blog for updates, and my heart aches for you. I thought of this (http://mainelyamom.blogspot.com/2007/09/delay-is-not-denial.html)
post I wrote while we were trying to find a house. At the time that I wrote this we had 24 days before we HAD to be out of our home and no prospects down in Machias. While they are two different circumstances, they in many ways are the same. Following God's calling, and waiting on His perfect timing, and trusting that He is in control and taking EVERY thought captive. While the wait is agonizing please remember that you will be holding little Noelle soon, and that Christmas is only just another day in theh lives of believers.
May God richly bless you and your family as you wait on him.
Jess Harvey
