Waiting...

Most days I've been pretty content waiting. Even with the frequent questions that I've received about when the boys will get here I've been extremely optimistic. Today is different. Today I'm tired of waiting. I want my sons to be home. I want to be able to pick them up and hug them and look into their eyes as they smile. Although I know that God is teaching me a lot through this time in between having all of my paperwork done and getting on a plane to Ethiopia, I'm ready to go. Hopefully this moment will pass soon because I know I still have several months of waiting ahead. Until then, I may be listening to the following song by John Waller a lot...

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, Lord

And I am hopeful, I'm waiting on You, Lord

Though it is painful, But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident

Taking every step in obedience

While I'm waiting, I will serve You

While I'm waiting, I will worship

While I'm waiting, I will not faint

I'll be running the race, Even while I wait

I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You, Lord

And I am peaceful, I'm waiting on you, Lord

Though it's not easy, but faithfully I will wait
