| Description: | Waiting for Hope is a blog chronicling one family's journey to their daughter in China. Through the wait, the tears, the joys and the fears, they get one step closer to Gotcha Day! The blog is also a place to call upon Christians to pray and seek God concerning the staggering and increasing wait times for adoptive families and children; as well as the uncertainty that is arising in other adoptive nations. We have the God of the Nations at our fingertips. Let us call on Him to bring His orphaned ones home to their families...and soon. |

Sailing on the Sea of Waiting
When you think of the word wait, what comes to mind? My first Rorschach response would be, China. Maybe yours would be something different. We all have to wait. Not only daily, but for long term things as well. Wait is kind of the four letter word of the adoption world these days. And rightly so. It’s taken China almost an entire year, I believe, to do child matches for just March 2006. That’s right, 2006. My month is May 2008. You do the math. While preparing a new Bible study series I’ve been teaching, I came across something that I find enlightening and challenging at the same time. Several months ago, God brought Psalm 37:5-8 to my attention. I have read
