words to encourage you in the waiting season (from someone who is waiting)

“who you become while you’re waiting is as important as what you’re waiting for.”

“Behold, I’m doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not see it? I am making a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” -Isaiah 43:19

“but what if where You want me is exactly where I am!?”

Our adoption consultant firm posted this on social media today and I felt like it perfectly said how we feel right now…

Building your family through adoption takes faith, patience, and lots of grace. We can find much strength when we trust in God’s timing for our story. We can continue without becoming weary. Not because we are good enough to handle the hard but because we trust the One who is.

“But those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.” Isaiah 40:31
