In God's time not my own......

I often wonder how many times I will come back to the title of this blog during this journey.   I am sure that God lead me to name this blog as a reminder and a lesson in patience.

Today I was again wondering WHEN WILL THAT HOME STUDY GET DONE.  It has been well over one month since our final home visit.  At the beginning of last week the director the Korea program called me and said she would have it to us to review by the end of last week.

Friday came and went and Monday I thought about e-mailing but no sooner did I really begin to serious craft an e-mail I got an e-mail from the director telling me that on Thursday when she started to review the home study two travel approvals for babies came in and that needed her immediate attention and she has not forgotten us and thanked me for my patience.

I understand, really I do.  If my baby's travel approval arrived I would want them to jump right on that, but here it is Wednesday and I was getting impatient.  So I opened my blog and was ready to type/complain away about how I really just want it to be my turn.  How I want to get that homestudy to Korea so we can begin our official wait and......I saw my blog title.

It is going to be a constant reminder during this journey....a good reminder.  I know there are times that getting things out help but REALLY.  Look how blessed I am.  I am going through this process that for years I assumed was only a dream.  I have two beautiful healthy children that keep me busy, and we are at a place in our lives where we are able to start doing fun things like vacations - other than just camping ;)

I know God has HIS plan and the timing of HSTK is part of it.  I know that potentially if we submit HSTK this month and our referral comes at the approximate time the agency estimates that we could potentially travel in the summer months.  What  a blessing that would be for my daycare.  I will need to close the daycare for a month and a half and to be closed in the summer when summer camps and college students are available would be wonderful for my families and also maybe keep me from loosing some of my kids.

So once again I am thankful I was able to open the blog in a grumpy mood and see the title and take a few minutes to remember this is all -  IN GOD'S TIME NOT  MY OWN!!!!!
