I saw this sticker today and smiled thinking of you and how you will hopefully get to say this someday :) Right now, in this very moment, you've felt frustrated that the door was shut on staying with the Housers, then on going home with the Walles. And even after you discovered that it was all because we were pursuing you, you've expressed lots of impatience and insecurity because, understandably, it's difficult to grasp the intensity of the process or this love that complete strangers feel for you. But all the while, our God-of-the-Angel-Armies has been leveling mountains for you! He's re-directing your steps not to harm you, but to "prosper you, to give you hope and plans for a future" (Jer. 29:11).
It's so humbling to watch--to be given a glimpse of what our Heavenly Father must experience so often with all of His children…frustrated, impatient, insecure when things don't go the way we think they should; meanwhile, He's chuckling to Himself as He knows just how excited we're going to be when we arrive at "better".
USCIS has mailed their response to our adoption request--"better" could be just a few more weeks away!! Tether yourself to His big picture, Luda…we're coming!!!
