No real news to share. But here’s the thing: the
waiting isn’t bothering me. I think it’s bothering all of you more than me –
because you all look so disappointed when you ask for an adoption update and
there’s not one to give. :)
That’s not to say it’s not disappointing to see our number
stay the same for a few months in a row. (If you're thinking to yourself,
“what number?", click here.) It is disappointing! A decreasing number would be
a visual reminder that things are moving along in the process… but so far the
wait isn’t hanging over us and weighing on me like I had anticipated.
And here’s the reason why: God in continually laying things
on our hearts regarding this adoption. Many of the things are just small thoughts here or there. But
it’s enough to get us thinking, get us praying, and taking action… maybe it’s a
bit of research… maybe it’s a lesson to teach our kids…maybe it’s supporting
other orphan-care movements… no matter how big or small each individual action is, I
know it’s all in preparation for what’s to come. And it fulfills a PURPOSE in
the PRESENT. So as we listen and follow the tugs on our heart, we are finding
meaningful ways to fill the wait...
