Waiting

I am a runner... For a long time, when I read this verse I saw the part about running without getting 'weary'. This weekend I saw something else. "They shall mount up with wings like eagles!" Why run, when you can fly?! Seriously. Ok, how do we do that?? It says, 'they that 'wait' upon The Lord.... I'm terrible at waiting. I like action, and I like instant gratification. This is a kind of waiting I'm learning to do though. It's not passive. It's expecting, looking for and hoping IN GOD (not the specific circumstances)! 

I'm learning to hope and I'm learning to wait. Maybe soon I can fly. 

The Fosters

That's us! And, a new TV show we are completely hooked on... The show is about a family that adopts and fosters kids. They are all misfits, but find a place to belong. The theme song brings tears to our eyes almost every time we hear it! http://youtu.be/GfCUQtTttoQ

Another no

Last month we got another call about a baby. We said yes, but God said no. I answered the phone this morning with hope in my heart, but disappointment seeped in when I heard the words, "you were not chosen to be the the family for this child." 

The hardest part of all is the waiting. preparing our hearts and lives and home and then hoping... Getting to see photos, reading a file, talking about this baby by name.... Hoping.... Not knowing. That's the hardest. We knew when we said yes that it might not be our baby. We accept that now. But, the waiting sucked.
