Humbled

I know I have posted before about a few of the AMAZING people that I have met along this journey, and I want to let you know that God has continued to introduce me to more and more incredible people who also have adoption stories. In just the past week I met two ladies at local parks (at separate times) who have each adopted and their stories have been such a blessing and encouragement to my heart.

I don't know where God is leading us. I have no idea where we will be in a year, or what our family might look like. But I do know that it is not about me and what I want. That makes my heart smile! It is freeing to know that I don't have to try to figure out what is best for our family; all I have to do is simply follow God's will and see where it leads us.

This week has been a week of emotional ups and downs for me. Maybe it's the weather or maybe it's simply recognizing that we live in such a broken and depraved world, but either way I am happy to live each day knowing that whatever happens in this life it's all about Him.

Love you, friends!

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt,

because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.

Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.

James 1:2-8
