Ok, God...Just So We are Clear...We've Got the Patience Lesson...What's Next?

John and I participated in a webinar last night with CHSFS (our adoption agency). Many in the Ethiopia program are curious about what is taking so long, why the delays, and wanted a forum to ask questions.

Looks like the current wait time is 12-18 months. The best thing to tell all of you is that we have no idea when we will be getting a call with a referral.
October? December? March 2010? We don't know. But I am hoping that 14 months will be our mark which would mean we won't end 2009 without a phone call from our specialist.

My conversation with God has been: Ok, God. I think we have learned the lesson on patience. We can move on to something else now!

We will covet your prayers as we continue to wait for our child to be matched with us!

A Prayer to Guide Us Through This

Susan had lunch with a friend who shared this prayer with her:

Please infuse my being with your light--surround me with your love, that I may be lifted up and carried by your grace. Whisper into my thinking the inspiration that will help me through this. Help me be clear and calm. Embolden my heart with the courage to stay present and connected, for I know that in your presence lies my healing. I ask you to guide me-and everyone involved in this situation-every step of the way. Lift my spirit into a higher vibration that I may grow from this experience and become my greatest potential. Let there be a miracle. I am open and willing to have a miracle occur. Let the healer rise and take charge. I thank you in advance as I know that it is already so.
