Not to burst any bubbles
We heard from our family coordinator about this latest round of renewal paperwork. The news is a double-edged sword, folks. We were pretty much told not to expect a referral anytime in 2009. Remember my last post? About looking at the positive side? Well, I'm trying to do that with this bit of news also. There's something comforting in knowing that it won't be this year. I know that sounds crazy but the worst part of all of this is the disappointment and let down when we realize that yet again there's no referral for us. It alleviates the constant worry and waiting anxiety. This way we know. It's not this year. We won't be watching each month tick away and wonder could it be this month? In fact, this news really will allow us to reclaim our lives. We've sort of lived only half our lives. I know this doesn't make much sense but we've been living for an eventuality. Waiting for the next holiday because it will be better with Emma and we've not been taking the time to enjoy the here and now. I don't know how this happened to us, but it did. We're still 1Million % committed to growing our family but we're now also committed to enjoying our family as it is today. That's the news you can use from this end of the keyboard.

Well, there's no pretty way to say this....this sucks! However, that being said, I think that you are right...maybe it is better to know with some certainty than to wait and wonder. Nothing like being left in limbo to keep you from moving forward, huh? Now at least you can map out your year a little, and if things were to change unexpectedly, it would be a wonderful surprise. I can't pretend to know how you're feeling, but want you to know that I'm thinking about you. Hope we're still on for lunch on the 24th....so much catching up to do!! Hugs~W
Romans 8:25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
Hebrews 6:15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
Keeping you and your family in our prayers
Jake, thank you for the kind reminder of the faithfulness of God. I do appreciate it. :)
