Our dossier arrived in Ghana a few weeks ago and since then we've been waiting. We know the wait for a referral might be a long one, but we keep reminding ourselves it's worth the wait. We know the Lord has a precious child that will soon become a part of our family. As much as we wish we knew who this child was, what they looked like, how old they were, among other things, we are so glad that we have a Maker who already knows every bit of this information. While this makes the wait easier (knowing this adoption is God's will), my human tendency to have everything done in my timing sets in from time to time. Well, let's be honest...I deal with this up and down turmoil of feelings quite frequently. And as I'm writing this entry the song that is playing on the television is "It is well." What a great reminder. There are times of sorrow as we long for our family that is not united quite yet, but in this all, it is well. There is joy and a great story and journey that is happening. Through and in all of it may God have the glory.
You can help us by praying for the following things:
~ A speedy referral
~ A means for funds (we have some upcoming fundraising events)
~ My emotions during this long waiting period
~ All the other families that are awaiting adoptions
~ The 147 million orphans around the world
Thanks for following our journey!
