Matthew 18:15 & 16 ~ If another Christ follower sins against you, go privately and point out the fault.  If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.  But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses.

We’re following the emotional journey of Betsy Sathers who lost her husband Scott in the 35W bridge collapse and now awaits the arrival of her 2 yr old twins from earthquake ravaged Haiti. She sent us this email last night:

Well another day has come and gone and still Ross and Alyse are in Haiti and I’m in Minnesota.  This is growing more and more challenging.  I have a new found respect for pregnant women in their ninth month of pregnancy.  The anticipation of having your bags packed but not knowing when your new bundle(s) of joy will arrive.  In our case it is as if I’ve been in labor for nine days and still no clear idea of when the arrival will happen.  To complicate matters the delivery team doesn’t include doctors but rather several government agencies from different countries trying to communicate during a catastrophe.  No small feat.

I’m reminded tonight that good things are worth waiting for.  A saying I used for the first part of the adoption process when people asked, “why does it take so long.” 

Tonight I was also reminded that:

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:  If one falls down, his friend can help him up.  But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

That was read at our wedding and for a long time after the bridge collapse it made me cry everytime I read it.  But tonigt it brought me joy.  In the midst of a rough night I had several friends e-mail and call with encouraging words.  When I was falling down you all picked me up.  I know Scott is very appreciative for all of you helping out “his gal.”  
So I wish I had an “arrival” time to share with all of you.  However, for tonight we will wait, I’d like to say patiently but the patience is starting wear thin.  Thanks for walking besides me during this incredible journey.

Love,
Betsy
