waiting

Still waiting for homeland security to mail us our 171-H document. It has only been 2 weeks since our fingerprints but seems like months. It is just so hard knowing that we are matched with Sophie but we can't go and get her until everything is done and they tell us we can come and get her. I am trying very hard to rest in God's peace. He knows just exactly how and when she will become an official member of our family. She already has a special place in our hearts and we are looking so forward to the blessings this sweet little girl is going to bring to our lives.

The time that is spent waiting for God to work is never wasted. He allows this time for growth and learning. He allows it for us to come to the place He wants us to be, so that we are ready to be used as He desires.

He will choose exactly the right time to place His child, Sophie, in the arms of the family He has chosen for her. He will choose exactly the right time for Sophie's new family to embrace her into their family.

But, it is so hard to wait! I am so excited as I think of all the Lord has in store for the Peak family...every one of you!
