The Waiting Continues

Well, we still haven't heard anything yet. Absolutely nothing. This is so frustrating but I'm relying on the Bible verse of Romans 8:25 which says, "But if we hope for (or look forward to) something we don't yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently." I've heard that going through adoption is a real test of patience. That's an understatement!! I am confident that the Lord has a special little girl picked out to be my daughter. And although I don't know who she is yet, He knows. I am thankful for and amazed at how much love I have for her without knowing who she is. We really, really want our daughter to be a little girl named Ivy. I pray for Ivy daily. I want her to have a forever family who will love her unconditionally and for her to have a home that is a safe refuge for her. I pray that it's my home. But if it's not my home, I am still praying for her safety and her happiness.
