Today was upsetting....I knew that during this process that there would be days like this, but I didn't anticipate how emotional they would be. Scott and I have had a fairly easy adoption (as far as international adoption goes anyway) but its days like today when we throw up our hands and say “God we can’t take it anymore!” It’s been 10 almost 11 months of an emotional roller coaster ride, from so excited to so frustrated and back again. We trust in God’s plan and timing…..but our patience is defiantly warring away. So as I try and pull myself out of my depressed rut that I have been in since this morning, I decided to read our adoption verse which has become my lifeline over the last 11 months.
"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day." Habakkuk 2:3

Thanks for being vulnerable, Amber.... It sounds so similar to the emotions I felt on and off when we were struggling to get pregnant with Aaron. Even though you know God's timing is best, it is still hard to wait patiently! I know (and you know of course) that Garrett will be worth the wait! =)
and God is still good … Keep up the awesome attitude Amber! He will be so worth the wait!
Great verse Amber! Just stopped by your blog to see if you had any updates on Garrett. Hang in there, and know we are praying!
