Promises

I think God is trying to drill something into my head and heart. I had a song going through my head, just a couple of lines, and it wouldn't stop and was really starting to annoy me! I finally stopped one day and thought about the lines and what was really going through my head over and over again. This was it..."God says yes to His promises, take Him at His word". Of course then I felt really silly and wondered why it took me so long to clue in! I have been struggling the last while with all of this waiting and hoping and wondering as I watch a number of friends and some family adding to their families as pregnancies are announced and babies are born. I have to not let myself dwell on it at all or I will just sit and cry and get depressed and wonder if God has forgotten about us. When I realized the words that had been going through my head over and over again I had to kind of laugh but also thank God for the reminder.
Today I went and saw my Gramma and, as I do when I go see her, I was reading her a devotonal for the day and what was it on? Yep! God's promises! One of the verses was 2nd Corinthians 1:20 - "For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes..." The devotional talked just a little bit about God keeping His promises in His good time.
I wonder if God is trying to remind me somehow that He keeps His promises?!
All of my life all I have ever wanted is to be a wife and mom. I am blessed to be the wife of an amazing man of character and strength and am so thankful that we are here for each other as we long to add to our family. Your prayers right now would be hugely appreciated as the waiting and longing and even the hurting grow stronger. We know God has a plan. It's just really tough to see other people's dreams and hopes of adding to their family come true as we enter our fifth year of waiting. Pray for me especially? Pray that I don't let myself fall into depression but live life to the fullest right now. I struggle sometimes with wondering what I am doing with my life and even in some ways feeling useless as I wait to hold our baby in my arms. I am sure God has things He wants me to do as I wait and so join me in praying as I try and find out what that is and seek His direction. Perhaps I am just to stay quiet before the Lord and wait, perhaps I should be out and about and keeping super busy with...something...I just don't know right now. Any and all prayer for both of us would be so appreciated. We can't wait to share our answers to prayer and excellent news with all of you and thank you so much for travelling through this with us.
I did get an update from the agency at the beginning of this month. We are #21 on the waiting list now. At least we are moving up! That is encouraging! Once we are in the top 20 our profile will hopefully be going out more and being considered. 
We look forward to God's promises being fulfilled in His way and in His time. 
But oh may it be soon!
