Not Today

Well it is 6:30pm in Rwanda right now so I do not believe that today will be the day that we receive our letter. I am not a very patient person, especially when it comes to knowing about the wellfare of those I care about and I definately care about these children. Not just the one or two who I will be blessed to parent, but all of them, all of them who are waiting on families. I was overjoyed today to see the pictures of two beautiful girls who will soon be going home to their new family.

In the meantime, I am looking for some encouragement and here it is in Ecclesiastes 3:1,3-8 There certainly is a time and place to everything in life and it seems like we have experienced many of them in the last year. As for right now, my time is to wait and find peace with being patient and trusting that all is as it should be in the grand sceme.

To everything there is a season, and
a time to every purpose under heaven:

A time to be born, and
a time to die;
a time to plant, and
a time to pluck up
that which is planted;

A time to weep, and
a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and
a time to dance;

A time to cast away stones, and
a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and
a time to refrain from embracing;

A time to get, and
a time to lose;
a time to keep, and
a time to cast away;

A time to rend, and
a time to sow;
a time to keep silence, and
a time to speak;

A time to love, and
a time to hate;
a time of war; and
a time of peace.
