We received the news January 29th...and nothing since.
Our chart could be sitting on the same desk where it arrived a year ago.
But we pray many steps occurred in the last year.
We pray that it may be sitting on a desk along with the charts of our children just waiting for someone to pick up the phone, or hit send on an e-mail to let our agency know about the match.
We pray for the Lord's plan, His will, His choice of children, His choice of crèche, His timing...but our hearts long to know names, ages, faces, where, when, who...We start to think about updating our chart and shutter to hear stories of families updating for the 4th time during the adoption process. Please, no Lord.
Please move the blockades. Please pour out pity and compassion. Please work miracles.
But if not....still we will praise Him.
Lord, help us to wait well. Help shape us into the family our children need us to be. Help us to learn the lessons well while we wait. Increase our faith.
Thank You! Thank you Lord, for being with our charts and children. Thank You for interceding on our behalf when we can do nothing. Thank You for leading us on this journey every step, every day, every prayer.
