No happy adoption news at this time...just updating our paperwork...again...UGH! Seriously, I'm having a paper-pity-party for myself at the moment. The stack on the printer is very thick and most of the documents require a check attached once they are filled out...again. And it looks like we're going to have to be fingerprinted about 3 times this year. Pray with me that this is the last time...LAST TIME!...I have to do this for this adoption!
I am so tired of waiting.
But God in His love and mercy gave me this verse on my homestudy agency's website while I was printing the endless stack of paperwork...
"He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD."
Psalm 113:9
WOW. What a perfect reminder of why He has called us to this crazy process...called me the childless woman, to settle me down, turn me into a happy mother, and fill our new home with children. Praise the LORD for His promise.
I check in on your blog periodically, and keep you guys in mind when I pray for all of my adopting friends. It's very long and very hard (obviously, even from my outside view), and I pray for God to give you comfort and patience on the hard days. When the happy news DOES come, it's going to be so, so, so wonderful and worth it. :)
