Inching Our Way...

closer to you my sweet girl!


We were fingerprinted exactly 2 weeks ago today and were approved - today!

This wait has been so much different than the wait for Lizzie.



I am peaceful in this wait...

not so much in the wait for Lizzie

Maybe it is because I am, ahem, older.

Maybe it is because I have BTDT.

Maybe it is because I am just so insanely busy, that I simply don't have time to dwell on the wait.

Maybe it is because, in doing what I do, I see so, so many precious faces whose wait is so much longer and more heartbreaking than mine - and in many cases - never ending.  

Sigh

Maybe...

I think, though, the biggest reason is that I am that much closer to the Lord and that I am so much stronger in my faith.  

He has put such a calm in my heart about when we will bring our Lucy home...


and that "because" enough for me.
