Never really been good at waiting.... When we are young... we can't WAIT to be 18...when we are freshmen in high school... we can't WAIT to be seniors.... when we are 18... we can't WAIT to be 21... when it's Monday.. we can't WAIT for it to be Friday... when a vacation nears... we can't WAIT for the departure day to come... when we are hungry... we can't WAIT for the waitress to come with our dinner.... we can't WAIT for Christmas... we can't WAIT for date night... we can't WAIT for the super bowl to air when our favorite team is playing... we can't stand WAITING in lines at the bank, post office or grocery store... we dislike WAITING for the light to turn green.... let's face it.... WAITING IS HARD.
Never ever did I think... I would be waiting... for 2 1/2 years... for my daughters to come home. This is the hardest WAIT I've ever done. One the flip side... my God is loving and gracious and faithful... and in HIM do I trust!
Lord... teach me what you have for me in the waiting... open my heart to receive all you have for me...remind me daily that this waiting is not for void... you have reason's that are so vast beyond my understandiing.... help me to simply trust in you. Teach me how to pray for my children and husband as I wait... mold me and transform me into the mother you are calling me to be as I wait... readjust my thinking...as I wait. Be with my daughters at they wait and help me not to forget that as I sit and wait for them... as I cry and hurt to be with them... they wait too. They are in the middle of this crazy and emotional journey too. Help me keep my eyes fixed on you Lord. Thank you for my kids! Amen
Perhaps they're not meant to be your daughters? The lord is telling you it's a super bad idea to purchase Haitian children and you're willfully and wantonly ignoring his will????
ReplyDeleteWe believe - without a doubt- that God is calling us to adopt--(not purchase) these two amazing girls... We know that He had them selected for us before time began...
