wishing, hoping, thinking, praying



No news on our adoption.
So we're just wishing, hoping, thinking and praying.
We're wishing the judges were hearing adoption cases this month.
We're hoping to travel to India soon after the New Year.
We're thinking about the way our daughter will change our lives.
We're praying that she is safe and happy while we all wait.

I recently read that in times of uncertainty and anxiety, it's helpful to remember these three words: "It's already written."

God already knows everything about the adoption. He knows all about our daughter. He knows when we will travel and how well she will adjust. God knows. He knows the Indian judges, attorneys and social workers involved in our case. He knows where our daughter is sleeping, what she is eating and who she she spends time with every day.

This certainty of God's sovereignty relieves a huge burden from my heart.
He is with us all. He is her Father and ours, and He will care us all while we wait.

We trust that God's timing is perfect. After all, we have just moved into a new house, we are both looking for new jobs, and my husband will soon start school. Our daughter will come home when she's ready and we're ready, and only God knows when that will be.

Please pray with us!
Merry Christmas!
