While I'm waiting....

We are waiting...for details on how, where and when the kids are coming home. It's an intense kind of wait. It's 6 months of waiting in 6 days. It's exhausting in and of itself. However, there is still normal life to do. Plus get ready for them to be home.
While I'm waiting...I am:
Organizing, packing, laundry and basically nesting
On my knees in prayer
Checking email constantly
Praying
Shopping for their shoes and coat
Praying
Picking out paint colors for their room
Praying
Hugging P and CN alot
Praying
Hugging each other alot
Praying
Dishes and cooking (does cold cereal count for dinner?)
Praying
Checking email again
Praying

Isaiah 43:5-6
Do not be afraid, for I am with you;
I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west.
I will say to the north, "Give them up!" and to the south, "Do not hold them back."
Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth-
everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."

And I hold to this promise delivered in a dark hour - God's word is amazing that way!!
