Oh the W word. How we all, yes that is a very inclusive statement, hate it. Parents in the adoption process make waiting a household word. We plaster it across our blogs and facebook updates, we tweet it in our despair. We always seem to be waiting. Waiting to start the process, waiting for a referral, waiting to be matched, waiting for our kids to get older, waiting for a phone call, waiting for a court date, waiting for an embassy date, waiting to travel, waiting for the words ______ is yours. Did I miss anything?
Yes, we are champion waiters. Here’s a little encouragement as you wait today:
Lamentations 3:22-26
22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
Psalm 130:5-6
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Put your hope in HIM as you wait today. I promise, he has it under control.
