Rejoicing with each family who's received a referral in the last couple of months.
In September at least one family a day from the Facebook group fasted and prayed for the process but disappointment hit at the end of the month with news of only 5 referrals.
October passed with only a couple at the end of the month. But already in November there is news of 10!!! Yeah! Praise the Lord.
Apparently the director had been gone for a couple weeks in October but is now back at work. Praying for many families to move up a step in the process before the holiday slow down next month.
Just read of the first Italian family getting a match!
No news from our agency. So we pray and wait.
Folks with other agencies report that they heard that IBESR will not be matching anyone with children until some time next year when they have a committee in place to do so. If this is true then we would be in that group. It could be possible that our agency submitted our chart with a suggestion of children without telling us-then we could match earlier.
Praying that if waiting children have all their paperwork in place they do NOT need to wait until some time next year for a committee to form and do matches. Especially those with medical issues, sibling groups, older children or abandoned children.
Ultimately the Lord controls when we match, with whom we match and with what orphanage. Trusting in Him!
Praying that we can wait well, praising Him, trusting Him. Praying that we're becoming the family our little ones need us to be. Praying we don't miss the lessons we should be learning during the wait.
