Perfectly timed

Those going through adoption or who have in the past know that everything is about waiting. People have asked in the past few weeks how it is going, and my answer it "It's going". Nowhere fast, but we are currently just sitting here waiting to get all our clearances back (child protective services and fingerprints) before we can move forward with anything.
But in this waiting time three friends have brought children home from Africa!! We have two friends at church who started their adoptions nearly a year apart. Yet they ended up being in country together, sharing the experience together, supporting one another, and coming home just one day apart. This was surely God's timing!! How more perfectly orchestrated could that be?! They are all doing well and I have thoroughly enjoyed reading along and following their journey, and today I got to meet one family's boys:) They brought home a 12 month and 48 month old boy, and they already have 4 bio kids. So I am feeling very akin to them and envisioning a bit how our life could potentially look like in a year or two (or when God decides it is our time). I am so emotional over it. I swear I cry every day.
Today I was standing in the kitchen scooping peanut butter out of the jar with celery sticks and I was remembering a video she posted about their return home. She was wearing the baby on her back and she was hugging her father and the father is hugging his daughter and the baby's eyes (which are endless depths of black and perfection!) are staring right up at "Grandpa" and he has so much love for his daughter and now this precious baby, and he gently pats him... It was just so emotional for me!! She has to stop posting all this;) NOT!! Keep it up Courtney!
Another friend waited years and fought for a child and just came home yesterday with a precious 2 year old girl from Ethiopia... It is all so right! It is not easy, but it is good and right, and we will cry and get frustrated and wait and hope and pray and God will make it happen!
Faith, hope, love... He has given these gifts to us to cling to, and sometimes clinging is all I can do. I have to keep reminding myself "His Timing. His Timing"....
