"Trust, Hope, Pray" by Luke and Trisha Priebe


Waiting. Few things are harder than waiting. For me, the hardest things for me to wait for was my wedding and later, at the end of my pregnancies, for the birth of my babies.

My friends Luke and Trisha know about waiting. They have been waiting for over two years to bring home their son from Thailand. Every time I think of that, I remember waiting the nine months (or less) for my babies, and I can't even imagine having to wait two years or more!

As they started their adoption journey, they noticed that there were not many good, new resources on learning how to wait. So they wrote the book, "Trust, Hope, Pray: Encouragement for the Task of Waiting," to encourage others who have faced the challenge of having to wait.

I have not read the book yet. Ironically, I have been very impatient while waiting to be able to buy this book! Fortunately, today is payday so I can order the book and stop waiting to learn how to wait!

I encourage anyone who has ever had to wait for anything to check out this book. I will try to post a review after I read it. I am excited for many reasons. I love to read, so the idea of reading a new book is always exciting. I am excited about this book especially, though, because I know Luke and Trisha personally. Trisha is an excellent writer and Luke and Trisha are wonderful, inspiring people.

I also encourage you to check out Trisha's website, www.househoncho.com. It is an excellent website dedicated to helping homemakers show love to their families through caring for their homes.
