While I know in my head that He is in control and that His timing is perfect, today I don’t want to have to wait anymore.
Ken took Jacob & I out to lunch today. He had some great stuff happen at work & we went to celebrate at a local Chinese buffet. I shared with him my blah feeling and how I’ve been crying out to God today. After the meal I opened my fortune cookie and I had to laugh. God is so funny. Now, please know that I do not give much credence to fortune cookies, but I believe God used it to tell me what I needed to hear. While it was not the message I wanted, I had to say, “Ok God, I hear you loud and clear”. The message was, “Right now you need to be patient”.
Love all the recent blog activity, but I'm sorry you're still waiting for your referral. I *so* understand where you're coming from. On one hand, it's wonderful to watch other families being made and on the other, you feel like a total heel for wishing it were you. The waiting stinks. I'm keeping you in my prayers
ReplyDeleteHugs to you... Waiting for your children, to find out who they are and then to have them come home is just the absolute pits. Hoping it hurries along for you already!!!

I totally understand! We didn't have to wait for a referral, but we've been trying to adopt our kids for a year and a half now. I've seen SO many families bring their kids home, and they all started way after we did! Waiting stinks! Hope you get your referral soon!
