...we will be asked many a time "where are you guys at in the adoption process?" and remain where we are right now.
Waiting.
It's not the easiest of places to be, but it is where God has us now. Today.
Waiting for a referral, that is.
Who knows how long we will be here, but here we are.
Our family has been thru a rather large transition recently with me leaving my full time position at The Mutual Fund Store and now working part time for We Love St. Charles, allowing me more time at home with our children. I am so thankful for this time the Lord has given us, this transition. It is allowing me an opportunity to pour into Adeline & Graham right now as well as prepare us for the next stage in our process which is bringing home another child in the future.
I am 'ok' right now. The transition has been rather consuming, in a good way, actually. I am also fairly certain I won't always be so 'ok' with the waiting. But, I want to be joyful today and remind myself that God has a plan (Jeremiah 29:11), that all things work together for good (Romans 8:28), that I should continue to put my requests to God (Philippians 4:10), and that I should always give thanks (Psalms 136:1) for He IS good.
In the meantime, we continue to prepare for a couple upcoming events to raise funds for the adoption. This part makes me smile from the inside out. The perfect place for me to focus some of my attention to throughout this "waiting"...
