Faith

It feels as though I haven't written in months, yet it has only been weeks...I guess thats because I am still waiting on the day I get to lay eyes on our daughter, ugh. Anyway, today my husband went to church, I was a sinner and slept in lol, and he came home to show me what the sermon was for the day. It was quiet fitting for our season of life. It read: Faith enables us to go without knowing where, faith enables us to live without knowing when, faith enables us to believe without knowing how. I couldn't believe it when I read it...it seemed like this sermon was a message for us. So much of this journey is a waiting game; somedays it feels like we will never get to see her but faith is all we have to depend on at this point so we press on. Keep your fingers crossed for us and our little A.J. I know we ask that alot, but that's all we can do at this time. We hope and pray and cross our fingers. :)

still waiting...and waiting....and waiting

ok, so we are still waiting for the day that we will get to see her face, however we have put the crib together!! It was such an exciting thing, but now we just need the bedding and all to go in it lol. Aside from this blog we also belong to a YAHOO group for couples adopting through the same agency and there were many families who got to see thier children's faces this past week! Our fingers are crossed that we just keep moving up on the list and that the right little girl will be ours sooner rather than later. Hearing the other families good news makes my mind wander to what our little A.J. will look like and what part of Ethiopia she will come from. The name of our blog ' miracle from Toukoul' may have to be changed because our agency has begun to partner with two more orphanages and so our baby may come from either of those as well. For now our blog will stay with its orignial title and we will just have to wait to see what time brings! Fingers crossed!
