It's been a week since we received our "referral"
we are elated!
it's undescribable, the feeling when you final see the face and know the name of the precious little one you've prayed diligently for.
she is beautiful.
she is loved.
she is ours.
but i imagine much like "floating on a cloud"...
the journey continues to have it's ups and downs.
we float up... and are light on our feet.
nothing can take away our happiness.
no one can say anything to squelch the feeling of arriving to this point in the journey.
then the sky is dark and the clouds are heavy with rain.
we are uncertain to when we will hold her in our arms forever.
we are uncertain when we will travel.
will we travel around the world one time or two.
uncertain what comes next.
uncertain we're equipped for just the next step.
no matter what though, we remain certain that our God is sovereign.
His plans are perfect.
and His grace is sufficient.
we are anticipating this part of the wait to feel like forever
but sure all the waiting will fade away the moment she's in our arms.
each moment of each day.
we are resting in God's goodness.
"floating" on His love & faithfulness for each one of us.
we are blessed.
and we wait.
in love once again.
