Waiting.....

Waiting on God is never wasted time....

Well since my family started our adoption journey....we spend a lot of time waiting....it seems its always hurry up! and wait....hurry up! and wait....with no end in sight yet.
So what do you do while you're waiting? Waiting is hard! It can wear you out quickly....so here is a look at what its like to wait for the person that is suppose to be part of your family.

We are always getting prepared! Classes, paperwork, passports....

Sometimes it gets a little messy..making candy bars, doing bake sales...

At the end of the day you just have to commit it to the Lord again, and keep going...

Its the small victory's that you learn to celebrate!

We are usually in over our heads..

It gets a little hairy at times...

Always alert and ready to pounce on the next project...

Everyone gets a little confused sometimes...

She's always on our hearts and minds...

Sometimes we need someone to hold us up....

Sometimes we just have to crow a bit...

Sometimes we look a little sad...

here we go with the messy thing again...

But we are all waiting anyway...

Because we know that God is seeing this faith thing through...

Sometimes its plum exhausting!!

We spend a lot of time doing this...

But life keeps going....

We keep loving...

Everybody keeps growing...

Paperwork keeps coming and going...

We keep expanding our horizons...

God keeps sending us comfort when we need it most!

We are all in this together!

 We keep making new friends...

Keep the jokes coming!

Still celebrating milestones... (28 years)

(60 years)

Birthdays...

We keep rejoicing with the ones we love!

Even when its a little scary...

We keep our chins up!

Keep smiling...

Because we will do whatever it takes!

No matter how it looks!

To accomplish everything we can!

We know we're not perfect...

But we laugh at ourselves anyway!

Because this little girl has changed my family....

Somehow we just are not quite complete anymore....

It can get a little confusing...

But we know that in the end it will be right...

Because we know that someday she will be more than an ache in our hearts and a folder in our home...because on the inside she has changed us so much...but from the outside you might not be able to see it...but just bare with us because we are trusting God that someday you will....
