It has been 16 months since we first laid eyes on our little precious Kevin. He will be 2 next week and it's a bitter sweet moment. One of our friends in SL right now sent us a picture of Kevin and I cried when I saw it tears of joy and tears of sadness because our little baby is not a baby anymore :( It's really is hard to watch them grow up in pictures wondering what his first word was, when he toke his first steps all those firsts you miss out on. Then I think of our precious William and all his firsts we have missed and how much he needs a family. A mother, family and siblings to love and nuture him.
This process is not easy at all but God has us waiting for a reason and no one knows the reason. I am reminded of the Story of Noah and the patience he had not only with building the ark but waiting for the flood to end and to find dry land. People mocked him and laughed at him as he built the ark. BUT his patience paid off in the end. God will provide his promises on GOD'S time not ours and that is one of those friendly reminders I had today. Patience is a virtue!
I pray everyday that we can bring our boys home soon but I don't want it to happen until it's God's timing. We leave in 27 short days and I can't wait to spend 9 days with our boys just catching up and learning about one another, loving on one another and just being able to be a family.
