Waiting...I am reading a book called Baby, We Were Meant for Each Other by Scott Simon, and it talked about how people want to know what the progress is during your adoption process and well all you can say is you are waiting. I so badly wish I could give a better answer, to be witty enough to think of something clever. But to my dismay, I am not. We are waiting. The good news is, is that Bethany Christian Services is working with 20 birth mothers right now, of which only 9 of them are placed with an adoptive family. So, we could still know something by the end of the year.
I also heard something this weekend that resonated within my soul. I was listening to the radio on the way to the store and heard the quote, "Our plan B is God's way of making us into the people we need to become in Him." That quote was followed by the Micheal W. Smith song Healing Rain. I needed to hear this or maybe, be reminded of this. Matt and I constantly go back to; it would be easy if, this is not what 'we' wanted or why do we have to go through all of this. And you know, after hearing that quote this weekend, I don't need to know why right now. All I need to know is that God is using His plan 'A' our plan B, to make us the individuals He wants us to be. And that is so much better then anything I could ever be on my own.
Matt and I thank you for your prayers. They are what is keeping us going right now. God is still good, even if it takes a little reminding sometimes.
