All month I've been getting more and more impatient for the kids. I think of them more often than I did before, and I quietly remind God that I want to bring them home. It is hard to wait (especially since there is no due date) but hidden in the weariness is an element of wonder: I've 'heard' God more clearly in the past few weeks then I have any other time in my life.
Each time I have lamented my weariness to God, He's responded through the little things: the sermon topic, a line in a song, a phrase at the end of a Bible study. It's been delightful.... and frustrating. The response was so clear, but not what I'd been hoping for:
"I haven't forgotten - watch & pray."

I can't begin to imagine how anxious you and Luke must be waiting for the kids!!! Oy. I am not known for being good at relinquishing control or being patient with folks who don't "get with the program" - ie get things done when I need/want them done. I think it's awesome that you are hearing Him more and more - and being willing to obey and *try* to wait it out. It must be so hard but so exciting at the same time. I'll just be glad when you guys post THEY'RE HOME. :-)
Watching and praying with you. ((hugs)) !!
Hi there! I'm a friend of Lori's (not-so-superwoman) and I just started an adoption blog here on Blogger. She mentioned that you're adopting too and that I might be interested in reading your blog. So I thought I'd introduce myself while I was here.
