Happy New Year!
I've given up on New Year's resolutions because I fail miserably every time. That's not to say that I don't have goals {I'd like to lose 9 to 14 lbs, but who's counting?}, but I'm done with setting up rigid parameters and unreal expectations for myself that just leave me defeated.
I did ask the Lord for a Word this morning regarding 2013 and as a Father delights to answer His daughter, God spoke. I want to share, but I'm still processing so that will have to be for another day!
One great hope that I do have for 2013 is to be united with Easton. Oh how I pray that I will see my son's face in the coming months. I long to hold him in my arms. I can't wait to bring him to his home. My heart aches to see Ava and Grayson welcome him into our family and love him dearly. I want to see him bond with his Daddy. And I so look forward to how God will use Easton's life for His glory!
You know what I would really love? To celebrate our 10th anniversary in July with a trip to Ethiopia to bring home our son! {I won't turn you down if you want to pray this with me!}
Our waitlist number for December is . . .
When you look at the number and the current timelines, all these hopes seem unlikely to be realized this year. {And if they aren't, I'll be okay because in the end I KNOW that God's timing is perfect.}
But I'm going to hope and pray anyway that 2013 is the year Easton comes home!
Girl, dream BIG! (Go ahead & check out what the weather's like in Ethiopia in July so you'll know how to pack. :))
