Patience

It is so hard to have patience!! I have had this problem my entire life. But God is in control. I have to keep reminding myself that it is his timing not mine.
As we wait for our son from Ethiopia, we are reminded again of this patience. I keep checking my messages (phone and email) for any correspondence from our agency. We have been on the waitlist a total of 2.5 weeks and I am expecting a miracle I guess. There are families that have been on the waitlist for over 16 months. Wow they must have amazing patience.
Dan and I have had many conversations about our son. We wonder what he will look like and his story. I can't imagine what his parents/grandparents are going through as they make it possible for us to love and provide for him the rest of his life. Deep down I wish there were no orphans in the world. That every child could be raised by their family but unfortunately that is just not true. So God has placed this situation on our heart and we are ready to follow him.
Adoption is not for everyone especially international adoption. But it is for us and so we are patiently waiting and waiting.
