His Timing is Perfect

God is amazing. There are so many blessings in our lives, I don't even know where to begin. Our adoption status hasn't changed in a few weeks and guess what, that's okay! A friend was asking me the other day how I'm doing with it all and my response was honestly and truthfully "Great!" I told her I don't know if I have finally learned to hand this over to Him or if I'm in denial or what but I truly am not upset about the extended wait time. Togo is in full swing, work is busy, Justin and I are enjoying our time together. God is using this time to heal our hearts from our fertility struggles and giving us the opportunity to be there for others going through that challenge. Don't get me wrong, I CAN'T WAIT to go get our little man but I have a peace about the waiting. I'm sure there will be days, possible even weeks, where I struggle with it but even the email we received that shared the extended wait time of 10-16 months didn't discourage my heart. I know that His timing is perfect and that He is asking us to wait for a reason. No matter what you have going on in your life, what you are waiting for- know that His timing is perfect and no matter how hard you try- you can't speed it up so give it to Him and look for the opportunities He is giving you to grow while you wait!

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
