I feel like I need to apologize for the lack of
updating. At the same time,
apologizing seems silly because there really hasn’t been much to update anyone
one.
We did receive “supplemental questions for matching approval”
from the Hong Kong government’s adoption unit on August 2nd. They wanted more information, such as
photos of the inside of our home; a picture of our dog, how big she is, and how
she handles children; more information about our community, etc. I think we received it on a Friday, I
tackled it over the weekend and our Hong Kong worker had it by Monday
morning. The good news is, our
paperwork is being processed, and hopefully we have an answer soon.
Obviously, it is hard to wait. I don’t feel nervous 24/7, but my heart does a little jump
every time the phone rings, and every time I check e-mail I’m hoping for a
message from our agency’s Hong Kong worker. Matching could happen any day now….
While we wait, I am praying. I pray that ‘our’ little one will be matched with us SOON,
that he is safe, and that his needs are being met.
In other news…I’m back to work. Thankfully, my request to be
part-time this year was honored! I
go in on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I love that I have plenty of time to prepare healthy food, clean, work
out, bond with our little beagle, etc.
The time has even been found to play piano and read for fun. I need to
turn off the TV more often and make time for those hobbies. My husband is just keeping busy with
two churches. His busy season
(school year) is about to start, so we are trying to lay low and conserve our
energy.
In closing, I have been reflecting on Ecclesiastes 3:11 lately - "He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, He has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end."
