Brave and Courageous
Psalms 27:14 tells us to "Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD." I'm thinking today of what it means to brave and courageous while I endure this wait that feels as if it may never end. Maybe He's talking about being brave enough to believe that He still wants me to be a mother; and to be courageous to go on even when giving up seems the sensible thing to do.

Still waiting
I counted up how long I've been waiting, realized it's been nearly a thousand days and got really depressed. And that does not include the time from July 2005 when I first submitted an application, from November when I got accepted by my agency (having to wait for a "spot" as a single) and on to March 2006 when my paperwork finally got logged in. I guess I should focus on the fact that there are only 25 log in dates before mine....that may easily be 5-6 more months before a referral, but I surely will bring my daugther home before next summer.
The children in Arkansas have been placed with a married couple who live in Arkansas. The foster family has major concerns about the family they were placed with, but I'm praying that this couple loves parenting those little ones like I would have.
