Referral Needed

So, I thought it would be really hard during Christmas to deal with the fact that we still have not received our referral. Fortunately, we were so busy with fun events that the time sped by, and my heart was really in a good place. In fact, as this past weekend came to an end, I found myself getting excited again to enter into "active waiting" since I was sure that January would be the month.
So, when Monday rolled around, I was not expecting a case of the blues. But, it happened. Wow. I have been so sad about the fact that we have not received our referral. And, it is somewhat overwhelming to me right now to enter back into active waiting. I think I am so scared January will pass by without any news. In a way, this feels like the adoption twilight zone. I feel like there is no end in sight!

You can pray that God would continue to help us--me--trust Him and His timing. I know this and do trust Him. I guess I'm just ready to hear. Tomorrow will mark 7 months of waiting. I think it would be a great time to get a referral! So, in honor of this mark and in an attempt to bring some humor to this situation, I am wearing my sticker proudly today. Kendra, the bow-lady, went to great lengths to confiscate this from a doctor's office for me! Thanks, Kendra!
