I know, I know…it’s been awhile since I posted about the adoption so something had to have happened by now, right? Wrong! The latest update is that it may take even longer for things to progress. However, we got a glimpse of hope through an email a week ago. Our agency sent pictures of special needs children to all of their special needs families to pray about. We were really thinking and praying over a 2 year old baby girl but we knew she wasn’t the one for us. Her conditions were far more complicated than our family would be able to handle. Sadly, I know there’s another forever family that God already has prepared for her.
In the meantime, I’m telling myself not to miss out on watching my lil girl go to ‘big kids’ school’ & kick butt in kindergarten (not literally). She’s so smart & makes her mama proud – especially after our first parent teacher meeting was a success! And can’t forget my little Bubba. He is so funny and can talk your head off! They’re my little blessings & a realization of so many things God is doing in my life.
I don’t remember if I shared this or not but my word for this year was ‘wait’ and boy did we do a lot of that! (I’ll be sure to change my word next year for a better turn of events) 😉
But in all seriousness, God has taught me what ‘wait’ really means. It’s not sitting around doing nothing. It’s living in the moment, exercising patience and self-control, counting your blessings, not worrying about tomorrow, trusting that He is doing a work in you- stretching you, healing you, equipping you..
Seemed such an easy word until it started playing out for me this year. Now Isaiah 40:31 makes so much more sense. 🙂
“Those who wait on The Lord will renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
