Waiting for Her

"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.  Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied.  Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh."  Luke 6:20-21

We returned from Arkansas to find a pile of mail on the counter, a pile of packages outside the door, and a driveway blanketed with snow.  As Ethan snow blowed and William hauled in luggage, I began to slog through the mail.  It was a fun slog!  So many Christmas cards and fun pictures!  But it was the little half sheet of paper slipped into a really thin envelope that made me giddy...our license from DCFS.  Unfortunately, this was NOT what I thought it was.   Our homestudy has yet to be approved, and this little slip was not the approval.   So we wait.   If that would have been the approval, we could been receiving our referral 6 weeks earlier than projected, and that thought was so. incredibly. exciting.   UGH.  Not so.

So in the meantime we will hold onto the above verse, a promise straight from heaven, for our daughter.
