May you be safe and sleep soundly through the night
and safe as you wake to the morning's light
May you feel our love from so far away
May it comfort and protect you throughout the day

We will pray for you our little one
until our time of waiting is done
We will pray the Lord will keep you from harm,
until you become the child in our arms.

Working through this journey I often wonder,"is our little guy born yet?" and "what will he look like?" and "where will he be from?" so many questions and so many what ifs. I pray again for guidance especially as we anticipate and get ready for our first home visit. I laugh as I think about explaining this home visit with our girls.  Taya excitedly exclaims, "we need to get the house ready mom, she will bring our baby brother!" As I explain that our social worker will not be actually bringing our baby boy to our house, Sydney and Nyiah let out a cranky sigh, "Augh, mom" they say, "how much longer do we have to wait for him?" I chuckle, wondering how many times they will ask us that question.  I sit and think about when I will ask God that same question along the way, and remind myself of God's perfect timing.
