Celebrate...and Wait

Received wonderful news today from our agency that the next step in our paperwork to bring Nehemiah home is complete!  Ordinarily we would now be rushing to do the last step paperwork on the US side...but...we've got to wait for another answer regarding a significant development.  Until we have that answer and I can share fully here what that development is...we have to wait.
So much of this adoption has been about learning to WAIT on Him.  I can see just a few glimpses of "why" we've had to wait...and I am excited to see what He will bring about next.   It is good for me to be reminded that all things are under His control and that every matter, for His purposes, is within His grasp.  This is where I find rest.

Nehemiah turns five next month.  I so hope he will be with his forever family to celebrate that day as he's been without his family for the last four.  But, all things in His time.

The boys and I are so homesick.  Though the time has been swift since Daddy and the girls went back...13 more days and we'll be going home too.

A few more dental appointments...saying goodbye to the final cast on The Bruiser's foot...and a few more sweet days with those we love.

We celebrate today...for Nehemiah is one step closer to home...and wait we will for the next step to be revealed.
