One Year Today!
Today we have been on the waiting list for Peru for one year, hoping that they will match us with our child soon. The waiting makes you thoughtful, reflect, feel apprehensive, nervous: yet we have peace (most of the time!) and are OK with timing things to God's timetable, not ours. Soon would be nice but equally we don't feel sorted or ready.
Many parents get a date, a time frame, a new born to slowly get to know. We could have a very active toddler, a Spanish chattering whirlwind! Sometimes I think about the challenges that will bring. We are excited, but are we going to do a good enough job. But I am told that is the thought pattern of every parent! Maybe that means we are just where we should be!!
We are on Easter break now, a great relief and a chance to rest and prepare a few more things. The garden is at the top of our list!! Hopefully we will get the last touches on the spare room done too. I have been so busy at work (just got back from taking 40 kids away for a week!) that there are still things to do. We will get there though. Thanks to our amazing families!
We received a letter to say we need another annual review with our social and medicals soon. We wondered when we had our last one if we would need another. I guess the answer was yes! Will we see our child this year or next?
He knows.
