Waiting Patiently is not always easy to do. I seem to think that I am a patient person but obviously I am not. God is definitely trying to teach me something. I wish I could just learn it and move on. Then I remember oh that is what I am trying to learn.
We are now on Day 86 of our waiting for our LOA (Letter of Approval). The average wait is 50 days and the most it has even been is 188. All I can say is we are getting closer and closer every day to bringing out sweet little girl home.
The other day I was finding myself going to bed as soon as my children went to bed. My husband asked was I ok. I said " Sure but I know we won't receive the letter today because it is too late but the sooner I go to bed the sooner it will be tomorrow and tomorrow might be the day."
Needless to say it is getting harder and harder to wait but God is God. He gave me the verse Romans 8:23-25 that I have read over and over lately.
23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
