Today marks ONE YEAR on the waiting list for our boys. We did not think we would be waiting this long when we started the adoption process, but we believe that the extra waiting is for a reason yet to be revealed. We have learned and grown so much as individuals and as a couple through the waiting period, and truly believe that God is using this time to prepare us for our future children and all that parenting them will entail. We are relying on God to build our family in His perfect timing. Every day is one step closer...
Psalm 127
Unless the Lord builds the house they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman keeps awake in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to retire late, to eat the bread of painful labors; for He gives to His beloved even in his sleep. Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; they will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
I am praying hard for you all that you are going to get that call really soon! I really can't wait to see you united with your sweet babies!!
