Still waiting...

As of today, I say goodbye to summer break. Tomorrow I start back to my life as a 4th grade teacher, my little boy starts preschool, and next week, my big girl starts 1st grade. I have spent the last couple of days running. Gracie to cheer camp in the morning (just for fun) she had to have an eye exam for school and they both had dentist appointments. Then today I got their immunization records and took Gracie's school records to her new school. Isaac's preschool open house is tonight.

Life stays so busy, and I pray the busy schedule will make the waiting easier. We still are not DTR, our dossier is at the Rwandan embassy in DC getting translated I guess. is that what they do there? I know it gets translated at some point, cause we paid a pretty penny for a translation fee! It should be there another week before being sent to Rwanda via FedEx, then we'll get an email saying we are DTR- Dossier to Rwanda. Then the REAL waiting begins.

I continue to pray for my miracle. a sudden rush of approvals and referrals, moving the long line quickly ahead. I spoke to a friend last week who waited over 2 years for her daughter from China, and a couple just joined our Sunday school class who are getting a referral this month from China, after having waited 5 YEARS!! The sweet woman said she wept when she got the news of the referral, and the Lord told her, why are you so suprised? Isn't this what you have been praying for?

HIS timing is perfect! Maybe my sweet little one has yet to be born, or even conceived. My prayer is that he (or she) is loved, is spared any suffering, and God will give us peace until we have him (or her) in our arms.
