Nothing to do but wait

It is hard to come up with anything pithy, profound, or even personal when talking about court dates. So, I guess I won't much try. The first court date in India has taken place. The judge then promptly went on vacation. It was hard not to think that it sure would have been nice if he had taken vacation during the entire month of May when court was closed. Our daughter sits in foster care while people who control her life shut down or go on vacation. Ok, so apparently there is something personal about the court dates after all. It is kind of weird, as I type this, I didn't realize how much frustration is floating around in my head about the whole thing. As is tradition in our family, we can't come up with a common name that we agree on. I could say that my wife can't agree with any of the great names I come up with, but she might read this! Anyway, we keep trying out names with the letter magnets on our refrigerator. We recently added our daughter's picture next to the list to "inspire" us. This helps us in our naming process but makes it harder to know she is waiting for mommy and daddy and siblings while a judge takes yet another break. This is one of those times to talk about God's timing. It's true. It is also true that He is with her. It is also true that those too previous statements aren't always as comforting as they should be. Obviously that is my issue not His, but there you go. Ok, so going back to the title of the post, there is nothing to do but wait...and pray. Oh yeah, and trust. Geez, this walk with the Lord business is always a teachable moment. Oh, one final thing. The first court date was August 7. The next court date is September 6.
