Every Monday we call into our adpotion agency and we can listen to a recorded update. These updates include the number of referrels from the last week, any acceptances, and travel information. Usually I am on edge and a bit frustrated on Mondays...first off because I am not sure if there will be good news, bad news, or no news since some weeks it is not updated until Wednesdays...grrrr. Anyway today I am trying something new, I am trying to have faith. I know this seems like something obvious, however it has not been my normal route to take. Throughout this adoption process I have constantly thought "why me?" That "me" focus has taken much of my joy and has made me lose sight of the fact that God put us in this place and He is directing the course. I have NO control in this, but I know who has complete control over our journey. So today I am letting go of my selfish focus and trying to instead allow God to use this situation for His will and not mine.
Yesterday at church, our pastor had us come to the cross and put on it any sin or burden we have been carrying. I put my pride at the cross and accepted His will. I feel so free today and really hopeful! Exodus 14:14 says "The Lord will fight for you, you need only be still." I am working on doing that exact thing and trusting that God is fighting for me. How awesome!
