How is the adoption going?

I am ready to be done waiting. I know that is not the right thing to say but it is true.

We are both doers. There is not a fiber of either one of our beings that feels comfortable with sitting by and waiting.

I think the hardest thing for me (sam) is that this is what we are called to do in this moment: to sit, trust and wait. I can't help, add more and calling the agency doesn't further the cause in any way. So I work at not thinking of the wait, and being sensitive to hearing what it is that God would have us do, or not do.

This is a common lesson that is hard to hear every time but true every time that I need to do a better job of living today and not always looking forward to tomorrow. Tomorrow will come and there is nothing that I can worry about today that will help bring it any sooner.

So with nothing else to do but wait, that is what we will do with continued faith that God knows what we need better than we do.
