I have been contemplating what to say here as we hit the 2 year mark of when our "Yes" become a reality. When AWAA accepted us to begin this Journey to The Fisher Five and my words are failing me. It feels like both yesterday and forever ago. So much has changed yet so much has stayed the same.
I listen to my to precious girls playing in the playroom during "quiet time" and I get this longing for a 3rd little voice I have never heard. I imagine the laughter intensifying, the silliness escalating, the love abounding and my heart knows she is missing.
Whoever "she" is.
We pray for our "Baby Haiti" every day. Last night, Anna Beth chimed in "soon" as Daniel prayed for us to trust in His timing to bring her home. What a hard and wonderful reality, that even our 4 year old knows that someone is missing and she wants her home... soon.
Soon is such a relative word I suppose. We started this journey 2 years ago, we are only officially "waiting" in the Haitian System for 8 1/2 months. (In pregnancy terms, she should just about be here. - In Jennie pregnancy terms she would be here!)
So, we wait for that call, the one where things change because "she" becomes a name and a face that changes our world forever.
Recently, there is a truth that the Lord has been subtly reminding me lately ... "Be Still..." It is a hard one for me, but one I keep hearing and cannot ignore.
Sweet little one, our hearts long for that day, but until then know you are so very loved.
We choose to trust and Be Still.
Be Still and know that I am God - Psalm 46:10
