Patience

  So some days I am better about waiting during this process than others. Today was not one of my good patient days. I started the morning with another email from Holt about the flooding. It's nice to have the constant updates from them but it also just really makes me want to go get our child and bring them home. I can only imagine what it's going to feel like once we actually have a child assigned to us and I have a picture and a profile of our child. I have also been reading a book about Thailand recently which again just makes me want to go get our child. The verse I constantly hear in my head on these days is "Be still and know that I am God".  God knew about the flooding and he knows when we are going to be able to go pick up our child. He has everything planned out. 
  Our homestudy agent called today and we have our first 2 interviews scheduled. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I am excited to be getting things done but nervous to meet one of the first people that can stop this process or let it go forward. Prayers would be appreciated.

  3. We both started this Thai adoption process very close to the same time and I love reading your story. It will be interesting to follow you over the next few years. (I SOOO hope it does not take that long though) I want to go to Thailand and bring home my baby NOW and I am sure you feel the same!!! I just have to keep remembering God is taking care of our children until they are able to be with us.
