We are now only two months into our "waiting" period and it is really starting to sink in! It is crazy how much love we have for this child we don't even know yet, a child that most likely hasn't even been conceived yet. God is preparing our hearts for this beautiful child! This is where patience starts, something I have never really been good with! As we prepare our hearts and home for this child I am struggling with the fact that unlike couples that have the instant gratification of knowing they are pregnant and knowing that in 9 months this baby will be in their arms and be apart of their family, we have no idea when this miracle will be placed in our arms will it be 6,9,12,24,36, etc.. months?! I know God has a beautiful plan far better than anything we can ever fathom and I am learning that this will definitely be a test of my patience and faith! I know God is a good and faithful Father and I am so excited to see what our future holds! Until then, we continue to pray for this baby and for their birth parents, we pray that through this journey not only will we grow in the love of the Lord, but that the birth parents and this precious child will grow in His love!
-Romans 8:24-28
"For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
