So...we're on to August. With that comes the flurry of back to school thoughts, planning Sahara's 5th birthday party, saying goodbye to friends from overseas, and last minute summer fun. I cannot believe stores are putting out Halloween and Christmas items already. Uhhhgggg!
Each and every day I seem to cross paths with someone who knows our story, our journey as we wait for the next step towards receiving our daughter. The inevitable question is asked "So...any news?" Before I would have loads of information to share "well this is happening, so it slowed things down", or "this is taking place and so we're waiting to see what happens". But now, when the question is asked I get a little pit in my stomach. I don't know if it's because I don't have any news or if it's because the journey has worn me down? By the end of August we will have been waiting 12 months to receive the referral of a 1-2 year old little girl.
I knew this before but now it's even more evident than ever: I don't make the sands of time work. God's plan for this little girl's life is precious and beautiful, complicated and important, planned and fragile. We will forever have a reason to Praise God for this season in our lives. But we sure can't wait for the inevitable question to be answered!
