For those of you who know me, you know that this part of the adoption process is the hardest for me. THE WAITING! I was fine when I was busy for hours at a time doing the paperwork, because it felt like we were moving closer to our baby girl. This waiting however, is torturous. I can't do anything to move it faster.
Lately, things have been getting more difficult. The I-600 form that has to be approved for the baby to come back into the country, hasn't even started to be processed yet. It takes a minimum of 60 days to process. I was just informed the other day, that the countdown has not even begun yet. That was hard to swallow. I thought we might be going in January, but it is looking like February now. You cannot even imagine the heartache when you think you might have your baby home for Christmas, and now it might not happen till Feb.
BUT! God has been working on me. I was laying bed last night crying, and praying. I was crying out to Him to show me what I could do to move this along faster, and this morning He gave me a verse.
Exodus 14:14
" The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
I just wanted to share that with you, because it is amazing how much He loves us, and just how involved He is with our lives! Please pray that I will Be Still.

Heather-
Thanks for this post. I personally really needed to see that verse. I will pray for you.
Hi Heather,
God has whispered (sometimes loudly) for me to Be Still. It has helped me through this whole adoption process.
Please ready my blog entry from Sweet,Sweet Baby on 10/30. I'm sure you'll love the video!
Thanks for the post!

Heather,
I love this post. I hope once the clock starts ticking it doesn't take the full 60 days. I am thinking about you! Anna
