Can't Sleep...

It's 2 AM and I am supposed to be sleeping but I just can't slow things down in my head.  I kinda have a one track mind these days - any guesses as to what it is?!?  

Why is it that the BEST things in life have to be the hardest?  I know what you all are going to say - if they weren't hard to achieve, they would be the best, right?  It just really sucks that my kids are out there WAITING to come home to our family forever and there is nothing I can do to speed up this process.  I just want my little ones home, NOW!  I can't get adoption stuff out of my head.  Why does this process have to be so HARD?  Why are there so many HOOPS to jump through?  Why so much RED TAPE?  Why is it so stinking EXPENSIVE?  This is the fifth adoption process Cher and I have done and it never gets any easier - rules always change, requirements are different, legalities all over the place!  Can't the countries of the world get together and just streamline this process so it is universal around the globe and have one set of rules to govern it all?!?  That would make life SO much easier on adoptive families.  After-all, these kids need a home, a family, and we are ready, willing and able to give that to them.  

God, please make things go faster!  Please give me patience!  Please help me to trust your timing!  Please look after my babies! 

"But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."      

2 Corinthians 12:9-10
