"officially" waiting.

October 9, 2009...

marked us DTE (Dossier to Ethiopia)

*Our pile of paper work has made it's way to Ethiopia and we are now on a waiting list for a referral.*

And we're "officially" in the waiting stage of our adoption journey :)

Our hearts are leaping for JOY!

Though, we've been told "this" is the toughest part of the journey... we are estatic to be on to the next step!

But to be honest... we are also a bit disappointed to have had it take so long to get here and to hear our "waiting" time may be longer than orginally anticipated... but we will trust!

Mostly, we find ourselves able to rest in God's plan & His "perfect timing"... but occassionally get stuck in the silly timeline in our own head... the longing of our hearts to be fulfilled-NOW!

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

Thanking God for His faithfulness & love today and every day and His patience.

Please continue to keep our family and our adoption journey in your prayers.

We will continue to keep you posted.... with even just a "how we're doing" :)

God Bless.
