Waiting is Oh So Hard

One week from today our dossier will be re-submitted to the SDA.  Waiting has been so hard this time because God has brought this beautiful girl in to our lives that we just can't wait to meet.  We have been preparing her room and preparing our children at home for what will be happening.  They are excited that they will have a sister and that we may be bringing her brother home as well.  (I don't have any details on brother that is why I haven't said much about him.)

I first saw a picture of sweet girl on Oct. 16, 2011. 

When I saw that face I knew she was my daughter, the daughter I had waited years for.  God knew all those years of waiting were necessary because sweet girl would need us to be there at just this time, His timing.  When I think of it like this I am in awe, that all the "losses" I have had over the years were not losses at all but just necessary detours. 

So today I am saying a special prayer for my daughter, that God would give her peace in the waiting and that He would comfort her when she wonders if we are coming.
