Roller Coaster Ride

Whew, adoption is such a roller coaster ride!! So, we had a fabulous summer as far as movement is concerned and between July and August we moved 25 places! Then rainy season hit...and between September and October we only moved 1 place! Crazy. We are #53 on the list and we continue to wait not having any idea when we will be matched. The unknown is really the hardest part. I have a million questions and think and dream about her constantly! I wonder is she already here? What does she look like? Does she like to cuddle? Is she a good eater/sleeper?  Is there someone who kisses away her tears, holds her close when she is afraid and tucks her in at night? If she's still in her mother's womb I wonder how her mom is feeling? What is her family situation like? And we pray for her precious mom whatever the situation will be.
However, it is so sweet to be able to rest in the One who knows all of the answers! He not only knows but He cares deeply about her. About her mom. About us. "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast the sum of them!" psalm 139:16-17. Thankful for this Truth that gives great hope in a difficult time. 

Praying for an active month!
