That's life, isn't it?
Timing.
Pork has to be cooked a certain amount of time or it's dry and tough.
Children have to wait a certain amount of time to do "big people" things.
Big people have to wait a certain amount of time to have a day off, or get a promotion.
You have to wait in the drive-thru line or at a buffet or at the bank or in the grocery line.
As many babies and children have come home from Ethiopia to their forever families, it's made me
anxious for our own homecoming.
But--this is most likely still a ways away.
We're still on the paper chase--documents and money.
But all in due time.
When I'm anxious for something to occur or for God to do something, I'm reminded of Abraham and Sarah.
They waited A LONG time for the fulfillment of God's covenant to Abraham.
God has called us to seek out a little child far away and to make him (or her) a part of our family here.
He is faithful and I can rest in His timing.
He knows best--always.
Jennifer, I can't tell you how beautiful it is that You and Zack are adopting. Our lives take different paths and come back together. Adoption has been in my heart since I was about 13 and first learned that there are kids in the world who need parents. Brenton and I are paying off student loans and then we will begin our own paper chase and bring our our child home.
