What a fitting title for this blog, somewhere in between. Because that is exactly where we are at, somewhere in between. We are closing in on being able to file the final application we are just waiting for some final things to happen and then we are on our way, oh how I long for that day.
I feel like every next step I will long for, dream about, pray on, and look forward to with great excitement and anxiety. Every step of the way I will faithfully put in the fully capable hands of my Lord and Savior with great anticipation that He is in control and He will guide us.
There is never a day that doesn't go by that I don't think of our Mei Mei. I wonder so many things about her. Has she been born yet? Why did her family choose to abandon her? Will she accept us? What will she look like? What kind of personality will she have? And the list goes on and on. I'm sure my questions will only reflect all the many questions she will have as well growing up. I know I will never have all the answers for her, but will always pray that she finds peace in knowing that the God of this universe perfectly orchestrated our lives coming together as a family.
I may have many questions for the rest of my life, but there is one thing I know for sure, that she is loved. I know this because I don't even know her and yet I love her already. I know that Jordan and my boys love her already. And I'm sure so many more will too. I know that she will never have to worry about being abandoned ever again, and that even if there is a day where we fail her, that Jesus never will. I pray for her salvation, and her desire to walk hand in hand with Christ.
Now I anxiously await the "next step" and pray on. Would you please pray along with me?
