I just wanted to thank you for ...Blog lurker here!<br /><br />I just wanted to thank you for all of your posts about the conference. The information and links you provided were great. I'd been thinking on and off about getting Dr. Purvis' book and your post about her directly resulted in me finally purchasing it.<br /><br />I'm on pins and needles (though, certainly not the same way you are) to find that you've finally seen your children. While I loved the conference updates, I must admit that with the frequent updates I kept hoping that the new post would be the referral post.<br /><br />That said, I know that everything is happening in God's time. He's doing what He needs to do to ensure that the child(ren) that need you are referred to you. Hopefully your friend was right and "God's time" will coincide with a Holy Week referral!Jessica Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09840667335436740062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-1291055689534210242011-04-19T21:18:45.756-07:002011-04-19T21:18:45.756-07:00You have been a remarkable encouragement to me and...You have been a remarkable encouragement to me and so many others!! The waiting is so...so...hard and each day that passes feels a little crushing. I know! Then suddenly, the waiting is over :) I pray your "suddenly" is right around the corner.<br /><br />RobynThe Davidsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027328182346604713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-86597245031421581962011-04-19T18:40:52.004-07:002011-04-19T18:40:52.004-07:00I know how you are feeling...on Oct 6th, 2009 we f...I know how you are feeling...on Oct 6th, 2009 we found out that we were #2 on the waitlist with our agency. I have to admit I was completely bummed because I thought we were sitting at #1. I was looking at my phone every two seconds, jumping when the phone rang (and secretly being mad at the person who called me - because they werent my agency calling), I felt like my mind was mush :) I was so ready for the call. That night and the next morning I completely gave it all to God. I told God I wasnt checking my email, I wasnt going to look at my phone, I wasnt going to stalk blogs :), and I wasnt going to look at our agencies listserv every two minutes. I told Him that is was all his...around 11:45 on Oct 7th, 2009 I got a call from our agency. I thought she was just checking in with me because the night before I got the email that we were #2. I was on a walk with the kids and she said she had a baby boy she wanted to talk to me about! I could not believe it. I call that no coincidence. The details of our process and your process are totally and completely in Gods hands. I know its so hard waiting to know your baby. Soak up this time of anticipation because it goes by so quickly. its hard to believe that we have been home with Zek for 16 months already. praying for your we got the call blog post! it will come no sooner or later than when Gods intends :)Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11952705013913150334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664434225679612529.post-2184719269146019822011-04-19T17:56:47.902-07:002011-04-19T17:56:47.902-07:00I FEEL the pain in your words Debb because it feel...I FEEL the pain in your words Debb because it feels like just YESTERDAY I was there. Given, it was for a very short while... Why is it SO hard....when it is so painful like that...to keep your eyes on HIM. Why do you just want to bury yourself in a numb stupor and forget EVERYTHING when you should be leaning on Him more than EVER?!? Even though you know with your heart and soul that you should be RUNNING to Him during times like that, it is so. so. hard. And you are sick of hurting. Praying for you and for that precious child(ren) God has in store for you!!! Sincerely looking forward to that "WE GOT THE CALL!" post =)Mama Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03956579568061258585noreply@blogger.com
