It seems we are in the no man's land of waiting right now. Waiting to hear from Wells Fargo about the short sale on the house. Waiting to hear about where Shannon will go to kindergarten (if she gets into Adam's Spanish Immersion or not). Waiting to hear if I will be full or part-time next school year and if part-time what my schedule will be. Waiting to move forward with the house so we can move forward with the adoption home study. Overall, a lot of waiting.
But, waiting can also allow for dreaming. As we wait I can't help but dream about what it will be like to temporarily move to the Dominican Republic as we adopt two or more additional blessings into our family. With the spring weather here, I've enjoyed watching the girls play at the park many an afternoon. As they play and interact I dream of what life will be like when we come home with a larger family. I love the sisterly bond Shannon and Amelia have and pray that will grow to include their future siblings as well.
More than dreaming, waiting allows for trusting - putting my trust in God that HE has a plan for our family and HIS plan is far greater than any plan I could dream up on my own.
