Hate To Wait

I can't stand waiting.  I know most people can't.  But especially when it is for something really, really important....... I hate it. 

Patience is a virtue, I know, I know, but we have been waiting since July now.  July!  Still the special needs list that we are waiting on in our children's country has not been released.  Still we are anxious to find out if Masha's needs are on that list so she can be adopted before she turns 5.  Still we pray, and still we wait.

The list was supposed to be released today.  It wasn't.

Please pray that it comes out sometime this week before I pull all my hair out.  Please pray that when it does finally come out that one of her needs are on it.  And lastly, pray that we can still travel soon to get our children.

When we committed to them, Christopher was just 7 months old.  Now he is 15 months old.  Time does fly, whether they are in your arms or not.  They are growing up without us, their family, and they are missing the love of a mommy and a daddy every day. 

Please pray we are able to leave to get them both very, very soon.
