In the big picture of things we really have not been waiting that long for our baby girl to come home to us. It has been about 9 months and here we are, waiting. I know it seems I have said that alot lately, but I desire our daughter to be with us. In my heart she is already mine and I find waiting to be what the Lord must really want to work out in me! Through it all I have rejoiced in my family and how blessed I am to have them each day to love on, hold, laugh with, train up and talk about Jesus with. I am amazed at what surrendering can do to a persons heart. I said yes to adoption and since then my heart has gone from "Okay Lord, your will is what I desire and I will adopt" to "Oh Lord, my heart is crying out, longing, groaning for this little girl who you named for us, and I can not wait to meet her. Do a quick work and bring her home to us." The Lord is faithful and I know He knows and has done such a sweet work in me. Thank you Jesus.
Bless you.

Adoption update
Hey there~Oh how the time flies! I have finally gotten all the applications out for the agencies and now I am...you guessed it...waiting! I thought it was hard waiting to fill out the paperwork, but now I am finding that it is harder waiting to be presented to situations and being matched! It has not been my time scale at all. Oh how I trust in the Lord. He knows and is in complete control.
A few weeks ago, during my morning prayer time, I was praying for the adoption. I was asking again for confirmation that we were going the right way. Later that same morning I got a call from an agency telling me that they received our application and that everything was in order for us to be presented to any situations that matched with our family. Yeah! Secondly, in the prayer room that evening a friend came up to me and said she felt like she was to pray for our adoption journey, so we prayed. Last, but not least, my husband was praying for our baby in the PR and got her NAME from the Lord!!!!! Three confirmations in one day...God is so good and kind to hold my hand in this big journey. Bless HIM!
