It just hurt my heart to type the title of this blog. Yesterday marked 21 months at being on the waitlist, and today is 1 month at being #1 for the referral of our daughter. I have to admit that this spot on the waitlist is by far the most exhausting. Every weekday, I wake up and think “Could this be the day?”, and as the day progresses my hope of getting that call diminishes. As much as I try to not let it consume my thoughts, my human flesh takes over and it does;however, I continue to hold steadfast to the truth I know which is that God’s timing is perfect. Regardless of how I feel, He has a plan and a purpose that is far more perfect than anything I could ever imagine. I know when we see our daughter’s face, all of this emotional angst will melt away. Until then, I will cling to my Creator and trust in His perfect ways because He is truly all we need.

The joy is coming! Any minute now, the joy is coming! I am praying for your hearts as the moment nears and cannot WAIT to see who God has been preparing for you!
I know it has to be so hard to have waited this long and then sit at #1, but I have been so encouraged by your amazing strength and light. I thought of John 16:21 when I read your post. Your anguish will soon be replaced by joy.
I can't wait to celebrate your joy.
Love ya,
Amy
