Waiting is never easy and usually not very fun. But life is full of it. We are always waiting for something. Sometimes the waiting is clearly defined. You know exactly what you’re waiting for and exactly when that thing will come…waiting in line for instance, or in East Asia a mob. Sometimes the end is not so definite…waiting for a husband or a job offer.
I’m continually challenged with the idea to enjoy life as a journey, to enjoy the process. It’s hard to do. It’s not natural. But I’m learning that it’s necessary to enjoy the waiting so that I’m not wishing away my life.
Waiting for children to enter our family has been like this. I’ve struggled to truly enjoy the waiting and all that God’s allowed me to experience and taught me along the way. I love my job and I love my life, but I continually struggle with longing for the next stage.

Hi...I can honestly say I completely understand what you mean. My husband and I are waiting to return to Russia to bring home two precious boys that we met in June. The waiting is next to unbearable. I have not lost sight of the fact that the Lord is in complete control, but even still, there is pain in the waiting. Praying for you and your husband as you wait.
