Waiting is Hard.

Waiting is hard.  I could stop writing now and most people would agree with me.  

I think it's especially difficult to wait for something you feel God has called you to do.  Tim and I are both passionate about adoption but we have some decisions to make first and a few things to accomplish before we can move forward.  I'm thankful for this financial study we are doing right now and for all I'm learning - especially in regards to the topic of debt.  We have been so blessed to see God provide for us by eliminating Tim's student loan debt thanks to the incredible generosity of friends.  In one day our biggest debt was gone.  Now, we are trying to be faithful to pay off some very small debts before we feel it is wise to move forward with saving for adoption.  We have been selling possessions, putting all extra money towards our remaining debts, and we hope to be 100% debt free in the coming months.  It might not seem like a long time to wait, but when you're waiting on a child...and that child is waiting somewhere on you...it's an eternity.  I am praying God will provide the means to pay our debts so that we can start the process of saving for this adoption.  We are so excited for this adventure as a family and want to be faithful to live according to God's Word each step of the way...that starts NOW with this:

"Just as the rich rule over the poor, so the borrower is a servant to the lender."  Proverbs 22:7

We want to serve Christ and Him alone, that means we are committed to being fully debt free so that we can fully serve Him.
