Today marks 30 days that we have been waiting for our RA/LOA. Remember, that is the next approval process we are waiting for. This says that the CCAA has the last approval for the adoption, and also the CCAA is asking us, are we sure we want to continue. Of course we are!!
Last Sunday I was talking with a gentleman from our church. I told him how hard it is to wait. How I think of our Katie waiting for us. He told me that I should think of this waiting time as if I were in a room waiting, and Jesus was sitting with me waiting. He knows how hard it is, and I need to remember that His timing is perfect. So as I wait I have been thinking about how Jesus is sitting next to me, and Katie too. It is hard, but I keep my faith in His perfect timing.
My husband was filling in for the senior citizens sunday school class and spoke about how we grow in the valley, not on top of the mountain. I feel I have grown so much during this process. Its something I can't explain. I think differently then I did before. I have been in the valley, and continue to be there. I'm thankful for the vallies, as difficult as they are. They are not fun while we are there, usually they are pretty painful. But as you begin to near the mountain, then climb , and ultimately reach the top, we can praise God for being with us, being patient with us, and loving us. In this particular case with us, we will be on top of the mountain when we are united with Katie, and yet we know there will be vallies again. However we know that God is faithful, and we once again will grow.
