It all began with obedience....

This is a story about God's promise. His endless love for us, His children is beyond my comprehension. One night, while I wrestled with the deep disire to have another child I felt the warmth of His touch, and heard Him wisper to my soul that we would indeed have another child. At first I thought we were going to conceive a child but God had other plans for us.

Awesome!!!  I'm so excited for her!!!!  That's what I said today when my grandma shared that my cousin who is also growing her family through adoption was placed with a 14 day old little girl.  I sound genuinely excited and begin to offer my assistance in planning a baby shower.  A tear falls and I'm sure that my grandma thought that I was just a really sweet cousin....

What I really wanna do is sulk.  I can't help but wonder if God is listening to my prayers.  I mean He listens to His children doesn't He?!  Everyone I know is praying, even the boys pray for their sister everyday.  Every now and then they will ask "When is our sister going to come home?"  "I don't know, boys hopefully soon," is my usual reply.  Then I muster the best smile I can.

In His perfect time I say to myself, that somehow, doesn't make the pain of today go away. {sigh....}  Off to my quiet place, to seek His refuge and recharge for tomorrow.

    As I read this, this old song came to my heart, so I thought I would share it and maybe it will bring you some much needed rest in him today,
    "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, He maketh me to lie down in green pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters..o oh he restoreth my soul, he restoreth my soul"
