Waiting

I've never been good at waiting. There are SO many children out there who need homes NOW. It is difficult to wait and see what God is doing. Am I crazy or what?!. I know...KNOW...His plan is great and the best way. I'm just a RIGHT NOW kind of gal, and I'm wanting so much for Him to do it in MY time. How selfish is that! This sounds so rediculous to even write. But it is real. The real Tori. I want to bring one, or two or three.... :) of these precious ones home. I know that He has given us the go ahead, just not the go ahead right now. I have much to learn in this time He has for us to wait. My precious friend, Mitzi, tells me often that God is preparing me now for what is to come, through work, and the loss we've suffered this past year and a half. Through every hard thing, I know He is making us, making ME more like Him, to be who HE created me to be. Isn't that beautiful! I don't deserve it. I am so thankful for a loving Father who knows what I need and when I need it. My prayer is that I would just let go of what I want and be who He has made me to be. I know there will be more little L's one day, and when I hold them in my arms, I will know they were worth waiting for. So while I wait, I pray for those waiting for a mom and dad. I pray that believers would stand up and be who God called us to be. Forget the easy road paved with bright lights. May we get our hands and feet dirty loving and caring for those that Father God loves and cares for. May I!!!

Thank you, Father, for Your perfect plan. And even for this waiting. Please make me more like You.
