While we're waiting...


With paperwork completed and grant application avenues exhausted we find ourselves struggling. At least, I'm struggling. I feel like Wayne handles things much better than I and this, too, seems to be no exception. The kids are even feeling the weight of waiting with questions ("When is he coming?") and statements ("When he's here we're going to do x, y, and z. I can't wait!") that are so sweet but a reminder that we're not all together yet.

I found this video on youtube as this song has been my anthem for the past two weeks...we're waiting but we're also trusting that God's got this under control and that all things work together for good for those that believe in Him. However, I'm a stupid human and while I'm trying to hard to lay my worry and anxiety down and give it to Him, I find myself picking it all back up again and walking around with it. Ugh. We're waiting. Waiting to see his face in person. Waiting to hold him and hear that laugh that's been so sweetly described to us. Waiting to kiss him and bring him home. Waiting.

Will you join with us in prayer this week for the two things that need to happen so that we may be granted a court date happen? Will you pray that my friends (she HELD and HUGGED my little guy and then told me all about him. It was probably the one of the most meaningful moments of this process!) waiting to travel for the second time (this time to bring their baby boy HOME!!) get that information soon? Will you pray for peace and a court date for another sweet friend (and who happens to be the first person that I connected during the early stage of our process) who is ready to GO; and yet another wonderful friend (who offers me constant encouragement and support and walks through this season along side me) for their dossier to arrive and be processed? I love these women! We have been delicately knit together and our friendships have grown out of emails, Facebook chat, wall posts and our shared desire to meet our sons. God is good and they have blessed me so much these past few months!

Be blessed this week!!
