waiting.

missing our boys today.  [every day.]

thank you for your prayers as a meeting happened this weekend.

things are progressing & we are trusting.

i also really appreciate you all cheering us on while understanding

that many parts of this journey just can't be shared on a public forum

and in all honesty, won't be shared anywhere.

it is a careful balance to talk about & encourage the journey of adoption

while protecting your individual children's stories.  

i will be sharing some of our journey to meeting the boys in the coming

weeks.  some things won't be shared.  some things will have to wait

until they are home to be shared.  [like their names!]

thank you for walking this with us.

i'll say it over and over again that adoption isn't the answer

to the global orphan crisis, but it is a beautiful part of it.

it is also a really sacred time of waiting & trusting. 

so thankful that a friend sent me this truth:

It is interesting to know that when God gives a man some significant

task to preform, He first tests his power of patience.  We should be

people of ambition, nevertheless it is with patience as well as push

that we win our Christian race of life.

-Frieda Schneider 

patience & push...part of everything that is worth doing, i suppose.
