Another Monday......

As this Monday comes to a close, we still sit and wait. Gareth spent most of his day attempting to get answers for us with no success. We are yet to speak to an actual human being. I got a call from my sister today and she shared her devotion, which when I got home and checked my email, turned out to be my devotion as well.

Although you never want to hear it at the time, you know that it was sent for a reason. We need to trust that God is sovereign and He ordained for us to be where we are at this time in our lives for His purpose.
We have to let go of our own expectations—even when it means learning to love our limitations. We have to know that God has a better plan and let go of our own timelines. That is not easy to do (the timeline part) especially as we wait knowing that we are so close to him being in our family forever and just to hold our son in my arms for the first time will be such an amazing experience. I will try very hard to Praise God with my attitude during the remainder of this process.

Thank you for continuing to pray for Nicholas and us as we wait. One of these days, you will read our blog and we really will have some news:0)
