Over Spring Break, we mailed our package to an adoption agency. We have officially started the waiting game. As I reflect back over the time we waited for Hannah, I am reminded of the lessons that I have learned.
1. God's plan is better than mine! I used to pray for a baby; we now pray for the right baby. I want the child that God has planned for us.
2. God is always on time! There were moments while waiting that I told God that it was time and that He needed to send me a baby. After God blessing us with Hannah, I'm grateful and thankful that God's timing is better than mine!
3. I can't put my entire life on hold. Waiting for Hannah, I felt stuck. I wouldn't go places or make plans thinking that I was going to get "the phone call". Now, we have Hannah. We are going to go on with our lives and pray that God's timing is perfect.
On Tuesday, it will be 6 months since our sweet boy met Christ face to face. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about him. I am thankful for the moments of grace that God has given me over the past 6 months. Hearing laughter from Hannah when I am on the brink of tears or my students hugging me when I needed it the most. There are many moments that God reminds me that He is there and carrying me through this time.
Right now, we are praying for big changes in our family. We are excited to see what God has in store for us!!
