Andy called and he is at the airport--headed home. They had a super time and I am so thankful that Andy and so many KCO kids got to see the country where Gabby came from!
No news on Lionel. . .my heart is heavy because I never imagined that Andy would leave Rwanda still not knowing. . .originally I thought we'd get Lionel by Christmas and that Lionel would be on the trip to Rwanda with his dad. Andy did talk to Bishop John this morning and he said that he has talked to a few people and that it is in progress. That is good news--I am just going to have to sit back, relax, get comfortable and wait. African time is not our time. God's time is not my time. I will just have to remember that Lionel is happy--very happy--and is in good hands. I'm the anxious one and as a mother, I need to remember that my child is fine.
I think the hardest part of this will be the not knowing. If it is a yes, then I am willing to wait. But if it is a no, then I just want to move on with pursuing another child so that I don't have to wait. I remember a song from my childhood:
"Have patience. Have patience. Don't be in such a hurry. When you get impatient. You only start to worry. Remember. Remember. That God is patient, too, and think of all the times when others have to wait on you!"
