OK

You know it is time to post when your BFF sends you a message that sounds something like this. "By the way my dad told me to tell you that you haven't posted on your blog in a long time."
To which I replied, "Your dad reads my blog?"
Her comment (paraphrased) "Not recently because there isn't anything to read."

And there in a nut shell was the issue. I realized there wasn't a whole lot I had to say. I mean how many times and in how many ways can you say "I am excited," "I am tired of waiting, but holding on," "I am trying to be patient." and "I know things are in the Lord's hands,"etc, before you sound like a broken annoying record?

Today marks FOUR months that my dossier has been in Ethiopia. I never would have imagined that it would have taken so long for a referral when I began the process, but it has and my mantra continues to be..."It is what it is."

I have read on more than blog that adoption isn't for sissies. True words. Sometimes I battle disappointment, but then I am reminded of the words that I have written on this blog and I struggle to make them truths again and not just hollow syllables. It's not always easy. Some days I struggle. Some days I cry. Some days I feel like the wait will go on forever. But, there's another side. Some days I soar. Some days I glow with expectancy. Some days I just bask in the promise of some day.
