Sowing in Tears

Here's a little adoption update which really isn't much of an update at all.  We have been praying for good news from Africa for the last 45 days.  On two separate days, we thought we were close to getting the good news, but both times we didn't get good news.  We didn't necessarily get a closed door, but for whatever reason, our case seems to be stuck.  We haven't been able to get that final breakthrough which would then put us into the next steps of the process.

My faith remains strong that we are on the right road, however, my heart hurts deeply.  I do not understand all this waiting.  It has been 16 months since we started this process.  I am ready for our little guy to be home.  I know the Lord wants to teach us in this "waiting period", but some days it is just so hard to yield to His plans and His timing.

I am thankful that His mercies are new each morning.  I need His strength to stay on this difficult journey.

Psalm 126:5 says that those who sow in tears shall reap with joyful shouting.  I am holding onto the truth that one day there will be some joyful shouting!

Thanks for walking this journey with us!
