Confession

ok, so for about 2 1/2 weeks now we have been waiting on our Cable Letter to come in the mail so we can begin our Article 5 process.  (yes, I realize if you are not, or have not adopted this means nothing to you), but please understand that you must have this before moving on.....this letter means you are one step closer to bringing your child home.  Well, I have to admit, I have been kind of obsessing over this cotton picking letter, and guess what.......

......it came in the mail today (yay!), but as soon as I opened it, I was convicted.  This measly piece of paper had consumed my thoughts and prayers.  I had let not getting it put a damper on my whole week (well, really 2 weeks ;), and as soon as I had it in my hand all I could think of was how silly I had been.  My GOD was in control the whole time.  I quickly realized how that piece of paper was so small compared to My God and His Greatness!!  The same God that called Stephen and I to begin this journey about 15 months ago is still in control!  He IS faithful and will see his plans come to be.......

.....in HIS time not mine.

  1. Bless your heart! I understand exactly what you were feeling. It is very easy to get "caught up" in the process of an adoption.. & forget who is in control! God has this already layed out for you guys... the waiting is the hardest part.
