Today I am overwhelmed by all the factors that are going into the wait time of our adoption. I can even look over my own blog post from last week and not really know what it all means.
My problem is that there are no numbers or time frames attached to any of this. I've heard from 2x to 8x the wait time. 8 x the original time frame is too long. That is just translated to mean "we have no idea". Give me twice the amount of time verses "we have no idea" and I'll be much much happier.
I know to fight my cultural expectations. We are a fast food nation, yadayadayada. I know this. I'm actually pretty good at waiting (if I do say so say myself :)
What I am NOT good at is flexible expectations. Now that is a whole different game. Changing dates aren't nearly as troubling as not really having a date.
That's what stinks.

Completely know what you mean about the waiting part. I have this discussion with my friend all of the time. It really is easier just to not know instead of having the "definitely" changed on you all the time. Lifting you up in prayer!
"And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise." Hebrews 6:15 One of my favorite verses.

yes...it is overwhelming..sigh
I think if we look up overwhelmed in the dictionary, we'd see pictures of ourselves! Not a word I want to define - but I guess God thought we could handle it ;)
I'm hanging in there with you on this crazy, crazy ride...
