I love waiting...said no one ever.
I love long lines at the grocery. I love waiting at Walmart, because there is almost never anyone crazy in line with you. I love waiting at the doctor's office. I love long lines at Starbucks and Qdoba...my favorite. Not so much.
I am at a point in our adoption where I could just squeal. I want our boys home. I have done enough day dreaming, and I would like to start our lives with them. I can't stand the waiting.
Anyone and everyone I see, "Sooooo, have you hearddddd?" That is all I hear because when they get to the part about the boys, I am mentally talking myself into saying something polite. Everyone has such a big heart and they care about our boys, bless their sweet hearts. Personally, I love the question, "What takes so long?"
Here is the truth. In this waiting, I have stored up an enormous amount of love for our boys. I have read more of the Bible than in my life. I have met friends that add significantly to my life. In this waiting, I was worried. Did we have the money for everything? God would provide but how? My friends pulled through. God tugged on their hearts and I have been given car seats, a double stroller, and more clothes than I could have imagined. While waiting, I have seen the love that surrounds me. Large packages in the mail, (Danny looked at me with some mean ol eyes thinking I purchased it, but then had the same astonished look I did when we realized a friend did.) So beautiful things are happening to our family while we wait. And we will wait.
We will wait for as long as it takes to be your family.
