I've never heard that song before, but it's pretty apropos, isn't it? Didn't Steven Curtis Chapman adopt? Maybe he wrote that song during his own wait.

I have to admit that at times I feel like I've been forgotten. Like I've gotten lost in the shuffle somehow.

 

Great song. I can't believe I haven't heard that one before.

Thanks for sharing

 

All I can say is ... treasure your wait. Enjoiy the respite. We on the other hand HAD no wait, and even before we had the foster care license in our hands, we had met with a birth mother who subsequently chose us as the adoptive parents.

While we see this rapid progression as a blessing, the amount of change we are experiencing in a short period of time is significant. In less than a month -- a fraction of normal gestation -- we have much to do. My in-laws are painting the nursery right now, and we have received an influx of baby items. We also need to pay for the entirety of the adoption process much sooner than we thought, which is straining our cash flow.

This is a blessing, but my friend your wait is a blessing as well.

Wow, those words are very appropriate. I am going to have to find it online to listen to the song. I don't think I have ever heard it before. Thanks for sharing

 

I know that feeling all too well, and with our good news last week, those who are waiting are weighing heavily on my heart right now. Its so hard to feel left behind. I wish I could take everyone with me to Russia in two weeks.

Thanks for remembering how hard the wait is, even though your two are home.

 

Nice, nice! :) Love the words. Thanks.

 

Kim, thanks so much for posting this. I'm not familiar with this song and SCC is one of my favorite artists!

Yes, sometimes it does seem like He isn't hearing me, but I know in my heart that He does.

 

Kim, I just read your comment on my blog. Your post is encouraging. I appreciate your posting this. The fact that you think of those of us who are still waiting and remember how it aches just proves how beautiful you are.

My issues are my own. I've struggled with faith for years. My belief in God is not shakeable, but the extent to which he is involved in my life is something I don't understand. I wish I did. During this adoption process and some other things that have been occurring in my family that I don't blog about, faith has become harder for me to sustain than ever. I'm trying, though. I really am.

I found your blog when Kraleigh went to heaven and I have been following your journey and praying for your family. Here I was praying for blessings for YOUR family and today *I* was blessed reading your blog! Thank you for sharing the words and know that you blessed me. Our circumstances are different but we serve the same God:-)
