So that's a mouthful for a title huh!? There is more I could probably add since its been so long since my last post :( it does make me sad to think about. Yet sometime busyness and distractions just happen. Hey, it's life :) I have to say it does feel really nice to be sitting here on the couch ( while being serenaded by my beautiful daughter with the words "my God's not dead he surely alive he's living in the inside roaring like a lion") feet propped up and just typing! So where to begin...
Adoption. What a word that is! What a journey it is to be a part of! What a struggle it can be prior to the actual traveling and coming home to the new changes of life with your new child! We are currently # 3 on the waiting list at the home. As of now (and anything can change in the blink of an eye) we should Lord willing be receiving a referral this month! I try not to become disappointed as each passing week goes by and nothing has changed. There was a little bit of disappointing news this week and some personal set backs with trying to get health insurance for our family. It was the first time I can remember in these 2 years feeling so very sad and discouraged. There was no hiding it either nor did I want to. What I needed was to spill it out on paper. While journaling The Lord quickly brought Proverbs 3: 5-6 into my writing.
"Trust in The Lord with all your heart lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and he will make straight your paths." Easy verse to recite, hard verse to actively walk out and believe for your circumstances. It stayed with me all night. The one I put my trust in isn't something made by human hands, or someone buried 6 feet under. It's my GOD! He is good and faithful, he is alive and personal, he cares and sees. We will remember your promises from of old! He is good and His timing is never late! Each day I am having to remember and believe his word.
In the middle of all my struggling I did get inspired to do one thing. With Isaiah's soon to be arrival I decided it would be really nice if we could have Micaiah potty trained before he gets here. I also felt like he understood and would be ready. So on Monday it began. With a nine pack of Spider-Man underwear, a little motivation, and a clear schedule we were set!!! And it just delights my heart to say he is doing soooooo well! Seriously, such a big boy! Even today we had to take addy to school and run some errands right after and I just bit the bullet, ditched the diaper and kept the underwear on. No accidents! not one! It's so cool to rejoice and take part in theses small (well I'd say potty training is a big one) stages in our children's lives! Taking one day at a time & embracing each moment!
Ok. I'm going to go ahead and tie things up right here. Seems like a good stopping point. The trips and birthday will have to come later. :)
Happy Tuesday Friends
