Our dossier has now been in Rwanda for just over 3 months. Nothing new has really happened, things have actually been very slow in Rwanda. It's hard to even guess as to when we will get our approval, many families still wait ahead of us. Please pray for the people in Rwanda as they have over 130 dossiers to go through. Pray for guidance and efficiency. Also pray for our POA who is working really hard to be an advocate for these children.
My husband and I plan to wait as long as we need in order to bring our children home. This could be a short amount of time or years. The journey is rough and emotional, but we know this is where God wants us. The thought of waiting years brings tears to my eyes, but God teaches us so much when we wait on Him. I still very vividly remember when our newborn son (who will soon be 3) spent the 1st five weeks of his life in the hospital. As we saw many different doctors and watched multiple tests be done trying to figure out what was wrong, all we could do was wait on God and trust Him. I still have no idea why we had to wait so long to bring our sweet baby home, but that time we waited made us both really rely on God and trust Him. Right now we are having to do the same thing with our next babies. We have already learned SO much on this journey and I know God will continue to teach us as we wait.
Our every day lives go on, but these babies are forever in our hearts and prayers. Never does a day go by that neither of us think of them and pray for them. And many tears have already been shed by both of us for our sweet babies who we long to bring home. Pray for strength as we continue this journey and that we will continue to rely on God every step of the way.
Yes, absolutely. Prayer for you and your family and the many other families waiting for Rwanda.
