So what can I say?......... We are still waiting.
I am sure that most of you have waited for something in your lifetime. Maybe it was for a blessed event such as wedding, birth of a baby, or a graduation. Maybe it was a dreaded event, an event you didn't want to happen but never the less you knew it was coming. Imagine for a moment that you were expecting one of those events to happen, but you had no idea when or if it would truly happen. Add to that scenario, that some person you didn't know, in a foreign country held your papers, your future, your fate for that event in their hands.
Well that is how waiting feels for us some days. We know, God has a plan for us and the perfect child is out there for us, however some days knowing all this just does not help the waiting.
We long to see and hold our baby. To nurture and love them.
I came along this verse today and it offered me some comfort.
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present you requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3: 6-7
It is hard not to be anxious while waiting, but we present our request for a child to our God and trust that He will guard our hearts.

Please pray that God will continue to watch of our friends and their little girl. You can see their blog under the section marked "View my complete profile." It is called "Oh the Places We Will Go."
