EMOTIONS

Well I took a week off from the bloggy world and really felt like I was supposed to post this today. This weekend was an amazing time spent in Branson with the family and enjoying SDC and the Dixie Stampede but for some reason I just feel like a part of our family is missing. Yes I know that part in thousands of miles away living in a wonderful environment and I know he is safe and happy but I just am having one of those days where I really I mean really really miss him!! God is definately teaching me some major patience thru this adoption journey.

If you know me very well at all you know that I am a rather impatient person. I know it's all going to happen in God's perfect timing but he never said it would be easy. I keep having these dreams of flying into the airport with all the families who are adopting from SL with our children and just seeing our family and friends faces the first time they get to meet Kevin. Yes I am crying as I type this, this whole journey has brought out the crying side of me (Just ask the ladies who I got to spend 10 of the most amazing days of my life with in May). There is nothing harder in this world than waiting, BUT we serve a wonderful magnificant God who can help us thru these times and well I guess that is why I am blogging today. I am asking for your prayers in the "waiting" period of our adoption and journey to bring our sweet Kevin home.

I know this is just a season of our "Story" and hopefully we can have the complete story finished soon. I think this part is definately the hardest because in the first 6-9 months of this journey we have been working on our homestudy, raising funds, traveling to SL and now we are in the "Still" part of our journey where we just wait patiently for the next step to be revealed. We have nothing to keep us busy, no trips to be planning. Many people have asked us "When will you bring him home?" Honestly, we have no idea, this is not your normal by the book adoption.

We knew this coming into this journey but never imagined in my wildest dreams it would be this hard, with that being said I would ABSOLUTELY 100% do it all over again :) We are currently waiting for the SL government to lift the adoption ban which we anticipate to happen the end of this month, then there court shuts down in November and December so we are hoping and praying to get a court date in Jan or Feb. BUT as you all know things could change at the drop of a hat.

These are my thoughts for today.........

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
