What a great weekend this was. Between my birthday and mother's day, I feel completely pampered. Today started with J and her Sunday school class singing a mother's day song and Our God is an Awesome God for the congregation. They were so cute. I was refreshed by the sermon about being a godly mother and not necessarily the kind of mother defined as "good" by the world. Even though I daily strive to be a godly mother, I feel convicted to make some tweaks to my attitude and patience level with my children. After church we met my mother-in-law, great mother-in-law and brother-in-law for a mother's day brunch at a local museum. We had a great time. Lastly, I made copies of the paperwork we are sending the social worker needed to begin our home studies. I have felt a bit discouraged lately by the lack of progress in the adoption and how much time things seem to be taking. With everything taking longer now than when we 1st started, I have been feeling more distant from our waiting child. As I was putting the documents in the envelope it got me to thinking about this child who I long for. I came across this great article on another blog. It describes this ladies trip to the Home of Hope orphanage in Kigali, Rwanda where our son will come from. My heart just aches for these children and I hope that more people will feel led to explore the idea of adoption. While we wait and wait and wait, I rest assured that the good Lord has control over all.
