Just Waiting For a Call!


Hi Everyone!
So we are waiting (unofficially)at #1 for our baby girl and #4 for siblings! Is it possible to be peaceful and on edge at the same time? Because that's how I feel! I finally changed my ring tone to something different for our case worker so I wouldn't jump every time my cell phone rang.
I did pretty well with the waiting earlier this week, but truthfully, it's getting harder now each day as I wonder what our baby girl (or our kids!) look like--I want to trace the outline of cheeks and fingers, and look into their eyes. I want a name or names to pray for. I'm ready to move on to the next step of our journey. But...it's not my timing is it? It's HIS and HIS alone. God knows best, and sees the big picture that I cannot see. Aaron is now "officially nervous." :) I cannot wait to post about "the call" and celebrate with everyone who has been praying us through this journey. The strange thing about adoption though, is that our celebration is another family's sadness as they are giving up something absolutely precious and priceless to them. I just know that somehow this is part of God's big picture and that He will be glorified in it. I just know that this is an earthly picture of what God did for each of us as spiritual orphans, and I am without words to express my gratitude to Him for allowing us to be part of it.
So...hopefully the next time I talk with you we'll have news to share. Blessings to you all!
