Patience & a stroller

Well, no news yet. We've been waiting since last Tues. to hear if our dossier has been reviewed by our agency, but haven't heard anything. They said they would try to have it reviewed by Friday (a week ago) but we're not sure what's going on. This has been quite hard for me because I like to know what's happening. Even if they said they won't be able to get to it for a week...at least we would know where things are at. I don't like this not knowing. I tried so hard to contact someone today, but no luck!

I'm trying to see this as another way that the Lord is teaching us to wait on Him. God knows me and knows that I start to put aside my incredible dependence on Him when things are rolling along smoothly. I really don't like that I do that. Of course I realize that I can't live without Him, but I always find that I am walking with Him closest when my life hits some bumps. So...as frustrating as it has been, this will be another opportunity for growth.

One exciting thing (well, for us) is we bought a stroller!! Last weekend we were in Edmonton for Breakforth and found a Chariot in great condition there. It's what we've been wanting and now all we have to get are a few other attachments for it. It was so fun to buy our first big thing for the baby! Hopefully we'll have a little one in there soon.

As far as prayer requests go, here's a few:

- patience, as waiting is a big part of all of this and there are no definite timelines
- our baby in Africa (whether they are born or not) and his/her family
- that God would continue to provide financially (He's been so faithful!)
- our preparedness as parents and that we would enjoy the last few months we have just "us"

Thanks again for reading!
