As I mentioned a few posts back, this month marks 1 year since we started the adoption process. Granted, we did switch agencies in October and restarted the waiting process, but it has still been a long year. We definitely feel like our hearts are ready for our next little one and we are praying that he or she will come soon, however we are trying to daily (sometimes hourly) submit ourselves to the Lord's timing. It's so hard to wait when it seems like there are so many babies that need homes, but adoption is a painstaking process that must be completely followed no matter how long it takes. Sometimes when things are really quiet in the process, we start to wonder, "did we choose the right agency? is our family profile being well-received? why is this taking so long?" But the answer to each of these questions is two words, "trust Him." We know that the Lord has led us down this particular road and even when our faith waivers, He does not waiver. We need His loving reminders that His grace is sufficient for us. He will not leave us or forsake us. His plans are not our plans, nor His ways our ways.
We are so thankful to our friends and family for your excitement and prayerfulness through this adoption process. It means so much every time you ask us how things are going, even when we have nothing to tell you. Thank you for investing in our lives! Please continue to pray for us and our next little one whenever you can.
