The Waiting Game

For the past month this is how my days begin. I make my cup of coffee & sit down to start the daily task of looking for a job. Honestly, I never thought it would take this long to find a new job opportunity & it's become very scary, challenging, & disheartening. 

For the past month or so this is how my days begin. I make my cup of coffee & sit down to start the daily task of working on adoption stuff. Honestly, I never thought it would take this long to start my family & it's become very scary, challenging, & disheartening. 

Things I know: 

- Waiting is hard.

- Waiting for TWO huge things is very hard.

- Hard doesn't necessarily mean bad.

- The Lord is good. 

- God's plan for both my job and my family 
is far better than anything I could ever come up with on my own. 

So, I apply for this and I apply for that - and I wait. 

 I fill out a bazillion adoption forms and work on fundraising - and I wait.

I remind myself as each day passes that I trust He'll open just the right doors at just the right time. And all I can do is wait. 

Wait & hope.
