I'm sure most of you have heard that it's important not to waste the wait, and I agree. In fact, what we do with our time while we are waiting is significant because waiting can produce growth, learning, patience, understanding and so much more. There are lessons to learn in waiting that shouldn't be overlooked, and we are trying to appreciate the time while we wait.
Frankly, though, I'm just tired of waiting. That's the honest truth. It's okay to be tired of waiting, and I am. Don't get me wrong. I'm not wasting the waiting. Trust me. I have 4 kids at home, a precious husband, a good job, dear friends and life to live. We are living it, loving it and are grateful for it...we just wish Jordan was here with us.
I'm waiting. Don is waiting. Baker is waiting. Brennan is waiting. Cara is waiting. Eliza is waiting. Jordan is WAITING. He's waiting for us. We're waiting for him, and there's nothing we can do to avoid waiting. It's part of adoption...one of the most difficult parts, especially when information comes slowly, processes are inconsistent and time frames are unpredictable. We signed up for this...because at the end of the day it's worth it.
Today I just wanted you to know that we continue to wait. There's no more information to pass along. We don't know how much longer until we get to bring Jordan home. We have no timeframe. No indication.
However, we do not wait without hope...ever! Our prayer is that Jordan will be home before Christmas. Nothing is impossible with God. In fact, EVERYTHING is possible with Him who has called us according to His purposes.
As we wait, please pray for our family when you think of us. Pray for the hundreds of families and thousands of children who wait for each other. Pray for a massive movement of paperwork that will usher thousands home. Pray our babies home. Pray for us as we wait.
