Can I just say that I hate waiting?!?! Today marks the first day of school for many kiddos in Arkansas. I loved seeing everyone's pictures on facebook today. However, it left me thinking about our kiddos. Were they starting a new school today? How did they do? Were their names written on every single crayon- so they wouldn't lose them? Did they have a new outfit to wear, and a big breakfast to start their day off right?
It's hard to know that our kids are out there- with someone else for now. We pray every night for them, that they are safe and loved. Right now, Luke and I are in the waiting period of this whole process. Actually- it's been that way from the beginning. We waited for the informational meeting, waited for our home study, waited to hear back from our adoption specialist....all this waiting. I can't help but wonder when it will all end- when we can meet our kiddos and be a family with them. Not a day goes by that Luke and I don't talk about our kiddos- or wonder what they are doing and where they are at.
All we know is someday, we'll have the kids the Lord wants us to have and hold. We'll be a forever family! We can take them to the zoo, Silver Dollar City, and anywhere else we want to go! And honestly, I cannot WAIT for that day!!!! What a happy day it will be in the Williams household. Whether it's 3 kids or 2, we'll finally be a family!!! I can't wait! So for now, I'll try to find joy in the waiting.
The song verse comes to mind- "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord..." Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna be one strong woman when we finally do get kids- and I think I'll need all the strength from Him when that time does come!

But you do know that the Lord will give you angels when the time is right and all the waiting in the world will be worth it and you and Luke will forget about the wait. Much love, Aunt Vicki
