And at the time, I believed that I was. And 8 months ago I believed that I would have children by the end of August. Or by the end of September. Or by Christmas. I truly didn't believe I'd be without girls this Christmas.
And I am sad. And frustrated. And impatient.
I have been really good at not getting angry. I knew that being impatient wouldn't help. I knew this process would take time. And so I waited. Now it has come down to the small details at the end, and with the slow down around the holidays, it seems to have triggered my impatience.
We are waiting to hear about one more document. If that passes, it will be about one month more of signatures and processing paperwork.
Please pray diligently with me. I'll be the first to admit that I have not been praying daily for this Home and the certification.
I spoke with my Canadian team a couple of nights ago, and my friend drafted these prayer requests to send out to my home church. I'll share them with you to pray for.
- Please pray for breakthrough. May Jesus move mightily and may the enemy be thwarted from trying to stall the certification process.
- Please pray for Peace. May God fill Naomi's (me!) soul with the knowledge of His love and care while she waits.
- Please pray for comfort. May the Holy Spirit fill the absence of friends and family for Naomi during the Christmas season.
Thank you all for your prayers. God bless.
Hang in there, Naomi! From this side we are amazed at how much has been accomplished in a short time. Of course it's so different to be right there and waiting, waiting… May the Lord hold you close and gently whisper of how much He loves you and is overseeing every detail.
