keeping busy

When we first got on the wait list for the adoption, we were told to keep busy. Our adoption agency said the waiting can be challenging if it is your primary focus. Things move at their own pace and it is a continual reminder that we are not in control.

As the school year is coming to a close, I am reminded that our adoption agency contacted me at the beginning of the years first major event to tell me that they had all our paperwork. It was during that event they encouraged me to keep busy. I was thinking, I am at an event where we are feeding 300 people...I think I can keep busy.

I am always amazed how fast the school years fly by. The seniors have graduated and the students are gone for the summer. And I am writing an update to inform you about the wait list numbers.

We are 31 on the boys list and 41 on the girls list.

At times the wait list is moving slower than we would like but we are okay keeping busy with what God has asked us to do while we wait.
