I have to admit, the waiting has been getting to me. It's is part of the reason I haven't touched my blog. I started this blog with the hope that we would be traveling soon and I would keep everyone filled in on our trip. Since we've be waiting I haven't been very motivated to keep people updated.
Today though I was listening to Joyce Meyer. She was talking about the fact that sometimes when we suffer in this world it isn't about us, it is about someone else.
I felt like God was saying to me, "Are you willing to suffer for your children? For your son?" My suffering through this wait is small compared to how many suffer in this world. However, it is still painful. I know by looking at my daughters that any amount of wait or suffering is worth it. It cannot be compared to the blessing they are to our lives.
I know that the wait for Jonathon is worth it. Although, he is in the care of foster parents, I still think about how my wait is nothing compared to his wait for a forever family.
I also know that I will have that blessing at the end of the wait. God will bring good out of the difficulty. It is the promise He has made. Not only will that good be our precious son, Jonathon, but also what we can do for others who face similar difficulties.
So I wait, hopeful that it won't be much longer, but confident that God will bring us through!

I got a bit excited as I saw this post hoping for some kind of good news.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great word to hear while you wait to bring your son home.
