So I haven't blogged regularly in awhile and part of the reason is because I've been moping around and feeling sorry for myself. A year ago this week we received a referral for two sweet brothers in the DRC. A year ago we said Yes! we want to be their parents and love them. We saw their faces and fell in love with them. We were filled with excitement and anticipation to bring them home. And then we waited. And waited. And we're still waiting with not really any idea of when this will happen.
And so I've been feeling sorry for myself, which I hate. I mean this is hard. It's a hard thing we're enduring, but there are so many worse things that people go through that I don't want to feel sorry for myself any more. So I'm going to stop wallowing and start doing. Including starting a new blog which I hope some time in the next year to be able to shares pictures of our newest family members.
These guys help keep the wallowing at bay:
I love you, and I'm praying that you get to bring those sweet babies home soon. I kinda fell in love with them too! I know this week is probably so hard, since it has been a whole year. But I am so glad they have you now. A momma who has been loving them and praying for them, when last year they did not have you. You are a powerful force in their lives, even at such a distance.
ReplyDeleteL, those are the luckiest little guys to be heading to such a sweet family as yours. Perhaps God has more to do in all of your lives before you finally get to be together. His timing is perfect. I will add this intention to my prayers! Hugs xox
