Well.... the good news you ask?
WE GOT OUR COURT DATE!!!!!!! AND THE BEST POSSIBLE JUDGE TO GO WITH IT!!!!! PRAISE GOD!!!!
The bad news? Our court date isn't until June 1st. Which means the last week of June or first week of July for travel, assuming all goes well at court. WHICH means that by the time the girls are home it will have been almost 6 months between trips! Which means our adoption journey will have taken almost 17 months! I am so tired of this, I just want to sleep the month of May away... and most of June too.
Mixed emotions, I just don't know what to think. Having God in control of this journey always led me to believe it would go faster... I always forget having God in control might just mean slower. It has been a fairly smooth process, but just so SLOW... timing delay, after timing delay... Remember, we are the tortise, not the hare!
Ugh! I can only imagine how hard it is to feel good about the news today when the date is so far out. But, as you say, He is in control here and there is peace in that as hard as it is to feel it right at this very moment. Praying the mission field you have right there in front of you at home (that beautiful family!) keeps you so busy that May and June fly by and before you know it, you are en route to your girls. God bless, Jennifer
ReplyDeletePraising with you that you got a great judge, that is awesome! Keep busy so it goes quicker.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I'm keeping busy by repainting the kitchen, hall, and ripping up carpet in one of the "boy" rooms:)!! Homeschooling has helped too...
ReplyDeleteSo glad to be on this journey with you!
I completely understand. I did the math on my fingers and had forgotten more months had gone by. Going to be working hard at steamcleaning carpets and such to be ready when we get the all go! God will restore the years the locust has eaten!
ReplyDeletePraying that the time will fly by for you, and that this time will be purposeful. I can't imagine how hard it is to wait sooo long. Praying for you all!!!!
ReplyDeleteas another tortoise I am sending hugs and prayers! I KNOW how hard it is! It will all be worth it in the end! :)
ReplyDeletelove and hugs,
Tami
