Where does the time go!
Well, as is apparent by our lack of blogging nothing is happening on the adoption front. I knew it had been awhile since I had last posted, but I didn't know it had been that long. We still have an empty room and many days fighting off the despair is difficult. We question our path, our motives, ourselves... I have been doing a study on the book of Esther and of course the most famous passage from it is, "Who knows, maybe for such a time as this you have been placed upon this earth." It serves to remind that I do not control the time God does. However, my argument to Him is that He is eternal and to him an hour is like a day and a day is like an hour. Being human a day is just that, a day and they keep passing by unmarked. The author of the study also pointed out though, "God never takes His eyes off us or off the wrist watch" and the same eye that is on the sparrow is also on the wrist watch. But is it His or mine! I can just imagine God's wrist watch and the many hands and faces it must have! Well, we still hold on to our hope (some days better than others). Until such a time!

Having taken three years to get to my daughter I can relate toyour feelings of despair--I often felt that also and wondered if it would ever happen.
But..now that I have my daughter I know everything happened as it should because I couldn't have it any better.
I will pray for you as you perservere--just know that when it happens and everything is right, you will realize why you had to wait--so that you could find the perfect child for you.
It is truly worth the wait.
Git it! I think you made a good point on my blog. When are we going to be confident enough to stand up to those few blow hards?
I know what you mean with God's wrist watch. Sometimes I offer to lend him mine, he hasn't taken up on it yet though.
We could always pull a Ma and Pa Kettle and steal a few babies from the hospital. Just offering. Rock on!
