Three Years...

Yesterday marked three years since we were officially accepted into the Haiti adoption process by our agency for a process we anticipated taking two maybe three years max from start to finish. We were to be here in 2016 with our three daughters preparing for a second grader, a kindergartner and a preschooler. We would likely already have had a year of being a family of five under our belt. 

Yet here we are, still the Fisher Four waiting as patiently as possible for that official call. Seeking daily to trust in His perfect timing regardless of how hard the waiting is. Oh the waiting. It is HARD ya'll. I am not going to sit here and pretend it's all sunshine and roses. It is not. April was really tough due too some really unique challenges we faced in our process which were new even to our agency (will share once all is said and done). 

Yet God is good and we still trust. He has shown Himself in the midst of the hard times in some really awe-inspiring ways that will be told in their own time as well. Little confirmations, big totally amazing non-coincidences, encouraging words from people we have not heard from in a long time, and simply sharing in the joy of other adoption journeys.

I know we have been quiet on here but please know we still cherish your prayers and support. We are confident our February prayers were heard, even if the answer was not what we were seeking. In a recent sermon we were so humbly reminded that just because He doesn't answer our prayers in our preferences, doesn't mean He is not answering.

I know I have shared it before but He has fully impressed upon my heart in this journey Exodus 14:14- "The Lord will fight for you, you need only be still" and so that is where we rest. Praying daily for the precious one He is preparing us for from the beautiful country that has captured our hearts.

Our present journey is nothing compared to what lies ahead, we just need to patiently wait and trust... 

Thank You for praying us through!
