Now we are on the amazing road of adoption. We feel the Lord has called us on this journey. But like many stories of people in Scripture, we are compelled to wait. We long to be connected with our next child and birth family. So we wait.
Today we read Fr. Robert Barron's Advent reflection, and it gave us hope. He talked about how Abraham received a promise from God that, despite his old age, he would have a son. But then he had to wait.
A long time.
Like us.
Did he ever question that he heard God wrong? Did his faith ever waver? Probably. But he waited, and in time the promise came true.
"The season of Advent reminds us that God sometimes completes his will only after a long period of time. So, like Abraham, we wait."
Please pray for us while we wait.
