Finally Blogging!!

I love reading many amazing blogs.  What do I possibly write about?  For those also going through the process of international adoption....you know it is all about patience.  I have been frustrated at times, but have continued to stand in awe of the doors God has been opening to bring home my sweet little girl.  I was hoping she would have been "home" by summer now I'm hoping to have a court date in October.  The reality is I just don't know. 

   I get asked daily where I am in the process.  Waiting.  My paperwork will hopefully be submitted to the court next week and then I will wait for a court date.   It has been nine months since I have seen my little girl.  I wonder if she will remember me?  I love to see pictures of her...but sad to see how big she is getting. This precious time that we are missing out on.  God,  I have already missed out on over 4 years of her life.  I don't want to miss another day.  I am comforted daily that God loves her more than I could possibly imagine.  God is using this journey to draw me so much closer to HIM.    I am brought to my knees daily praying for my little girl so far away.  Trust HIM.  God you have the reigns and are in complete control.  That has been difficult for me, but so rewarding to know that HIS timing is perfect.

“But those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”     Isaiah 40:31 

Perseverance.  Character.  Hope. Patience.  Belief.  Strength.  All positive attributes - and all produced through the art of waiting.
