While I am Waiting

Well, tomorrow official means three months of waiting. God only knows when our baby girl will be announced. I have actually been doing quite well with the wait. Some days I get a little anxious and tearful because I can picture the referral call and I have imagines of the day we get to go to Korea to get her. All those emotions and thoughts bring on some crazy feelings. I guess that it what this journey is all about. Going into this adoption I did not realize the type of journey we would be on. Adoption is such a surreal way of trusting God, going with the flow, trying to stay patient, and serving my God, all while I am waiting. What an amazing adventure. I love the fact that God stepped us out of the comfort of our everyday life and puts us here. This adoption has pushed me spiritually, I have realized that my comfort zone is not where I want to be. I have experienced God's direction to live more radically and truely trusting Him day by day. I am thankful for this adoption for many more reasons than I ever thought of when I started.

But while I am waiting

I will continue to serve Him, worship Him, and remain hopeful that it will come soon.

I don't know if every one knows this but Stanton and I are both going to Korea. Feeling nervous about us both leaving the country with four children here but I have faith God will protect us and bring us all home safely. I told myself I would do anything for my children. So, I will travel many miles to get my precious baby girl. I want to experience it all and I am not going to let Satan scare me from doing that. I mean who can say they went on a week vacation with only the hubby, spending quality one on one time with him, enjoy an amazing country, eat lots of food, roming and shopping, and bring home their daughter too! Oh, it sounds so great and we will be doing it, hopefully, within the next year.

Someone shared this song with me and I want to pass it on. This is one of my favorites right now and explains where I am at in my life right now!

So, three months behind us, how many more?

Some day all of this will be just a memory and when you look back you will be amazed at how far God has brought you.
