Waiting

Why do the days seem so much longer when you are waiting? We have other things to distract us but the waiting isn't easy. I was wondering today what life will be like in 10 years. All this waiting will be over and we will be able to look back and see God's plan very clearly. In the meantime I pray for patience in the waiting!

We started our adoption journey a year ago with the state. The paperwork we did with them is now starting to expire so we will be needing to work on that. Unfortunately, the state handled it all and just said, "Sign here and go there and fill out this paper." Now we need to figure out how to do all this on our own. At least it is something tangible to do while we wait.

We still have an empty room. This week we went back and forth considering having another high school student stay with us. We decided it just isn't best for our family at this time. I will admit it was hard to see the money slip out of our fingers but I know it was the right decision.
