July Referrals

Disappointing month! Only 2 days matched. I am so sad, no chance of a September referral now. The CEO of my company gave me some wise advice today tho. She told me of a group of prisoners of war and how some made it through the horrible ordeal and others didn't. (I'm not saying at all that waiting for our adoption is anything like being a prisoner of war, because it is not). But the prisoners who kept setting a date of when they thought they'd be rescued (for example they would say; "we'll be rescued by Christmas", but that came & went so they'd set another date "we'll be rescued by Easter", etc etc.) and as those dates came & went these prisoners were heart broken and finally gave up and most of them died. But the prisoners who just had faith they would be rescued and didn't set a timeline, were much healthier and able to handle the whole situation better. So, I'm going to try not to set a timeline on this anymore. Cuz that is actually all I ever do. Like the biggest one is I wanted her home by Christmas. So I'm really going to try not to let myself go there. It'll happen according to God's infinite wisdom and I trust in him! Ok I said it but now I got to believe it!!!!
