I am really going to try and keep these entries to a minimum, because I try to stay very positive. I have absolutely no information on our adoption, and am beginning to realize that it will be this way for quite sometime. Our adoption agency emails us every month so I find myself checking my email constantly just to see if there is any news. I am not a very patient person so this whole process has been very trying on me. I keep telling myself that when God feels it is right it will happen, but I am so incredibly anxious for that time to come. Abby has been talking more and more about becoming a big sister, it hurts my heart to try and explain to her that it will be a long time before that time comes. I am trying to keep busy and just keep praying. There is nothing that I can do, because it is not in our hands. I think and pray about our second child all the time, and know that Sean and I will be so thankful for when they are finally in our arms and in our home.

Ok not like it should be giving advice on patience, but a few months ago there was a reading from the book of Wisdom about patience. The lector reflection book said something that made so much sense but I had never thought of before. Patience is an active virtue. In order to be patient you have to work hard. It seems mind boggling; how can you work to be patient? But when we reflected on it I began to think, I have so much to do, do I really want to focus on being impatient or can I find something better that I can do so that I am not impatient. It is always easier to be impatient, but do I like how it feels. I can choose to be patient and focus on something else. The choice is mine. Now if I could only make the right choice more often.
