Over and over again I heard how God's timing was perfect. It was something I knew without a doubt in my head, but my heart had a bit more trouble digesting that statement. People would say it with the best of intentions, but it stung. I didn't want to hear those words because they echoed with triteness in my ears.
My friends, you WILL get the call. The pain of the wait WILL end and you may very well find yourself wondering why God thought you were competent enough to handle this in the first place. You may even contemplate why it wasn't dragged out a little longer (but I know you can't believe that now).
Take heart, dear ones, as the wait and setbacks are all part of the plan. Cry. Ache. Long for your children. Pray and maybe even beg. It's all good & necessary. God is in control.
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I put my hope." - Psalm 130:5

Good word, girl! Yes, it does end. Yes, it does have a purpose. And YES, it does hurt along the way. But He is Good ALL THE WHILE!
I know; it is crazy.....but everything about adoption is so mysterious and miraculous. Oddly, I never doubted God's timing. Only once, I actually doubted that my son existed. Just momentarily I doubted my sanity.
Now everyone doubts my sanity!
very well said, Stephanie. Thanks for sharing your heart.
Love you friend!
Stephanie,
I was going to ask you your thoughts and feelings about this "waiting" stage.......how you got through it and how you look at it in retrospect. How long did you wait for that visa? This waiting is getting hard and it just stinks!!
