Movin' On Up...

Lots of people got belated Christmas gifts today. It seems as though a lot of people got calls today with their referrals! Wow! That puts us at #56 on "The List" (remember, it represents only about 1/3 to 1/2 of the people waiting. We are just about to hit the 3 month mark as "officially waiting". They are currently estimating a 6-9 month wait for a referral.) . This is the most activity we've seen since we've been on The List. Hopefully, there might even be a few more referrals made that haven't made it to The List yet, and we might even hop a few more spaces over the weekend.

I can't tell you the emotion that wells up in my heart, balls up in my throat, and escapes a bit through my tear ducts as I read the posts from the elated parents that have finally been matched with a child that they have been holding in their hearts for months or years. To finally put a face on that little one you've longed for...oh, I just can't imagine. We rejoice with each orphan that has been set in a family. We dance with each parent longing for a child...one step closer to fulfilling a dream. We long for the day when we will hold our next daughter in our arms...

All in God's timing. All in His perfect timing. He is so good.
