Waiting

Adoption involves A LOT of waiting. A LOT!  :)  I was talking to a friend last week about "waiting." It seems that everyone is "waiting" for something:

*to finish high school
*to get into college
*to graduate from college
*to get a job
*to get married
*to have a house
*to go on vacation

......and so many more things..........

I have been thinking about this lately, and I think it is part of how God helps point us to Himself, Heaven and eternity. If everything always went smoothly and was perfect here on Earth, we might be tempted to not look towards Heaven as much. Seeing Christ, in person. How amazing is that?!?

Recently Adam and I have been reading You and Me Forever by Francis and Lisa Chan. He talks about not wanting anything more than Christ. What an amazing perspective. We cannot have that perspective on our own. It comes from God!

I am excited to hear the "Well done, good and faithful servant," even if there is some "waiting" between now and then.
