I wish we had an update, some news, something to say other than "still waiting." But we don't. There's a calm in the storm. From November to April it seemed the waves were merciless. Now, just still, calm seas. We wonder if we're just being given some time to catch our breath before the next tidal wave hits... it's hard not to think that way. But we're doing all we can to use this break in the storm to our advantage, to gain our strength and continue building on the strong foundation we've built. Lots of date nights, trips away, time at home, focusing on each other and on Christ. We're investing more time in our friends and in our family, trying desperately to keep the focus off ourselves.
We've come to the point where we've accepted that becoming parents may not happen the way we thought. We've been humbled by His dissolution of our plans. God may have something entirely different in mind. We just don't know what that is.
"The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundations on the rock." -Matthew 7:25
