Sunday we had a sermon in church with the title, “Slaying the Giants in Your Life” and the giant we discussed was Worry. So I have to admit that I worry way too much. I'm a good Dutchmen and isn't that in my genes?(smile)? One of the versus’ our pastor had selected was Matthew 6:34, which happens to be one of my favorite.
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
God is always there and God is in control. If we focus on God, the giants will tumble.
Throughout this adoption process I have had to learn to let go and let God and realize I'm not in control. I'm definitely not all the way there yet. By nature I want control over situations and want to be able to plan. Well now I can't plan and it is so hard!
It has been a year since our home study was approved. I ask myself if this is the path God wants us on. I truly feel that God has called us to adopt, I just don't know the details. We are on the domestic path but is he calling us elsewhere? At times I get angry and frustrated. And then I get back to reality and realize I have been blessed with a wonderful husband and 2 wonderful healthy little boys who bring so much joy to my life. But I have a strong desire for another child for our family. I know God is in control, I just don’t know the details!
Traveling to and from work provides a lot of windshield time (1 hour round trip each day). Every day I listen to Life 96.5 and every day they have a Life verse. Friday’s verse was from Philippians 4:19, “And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” Oh how fitting for me lately. We can trust that God will always meet our needs. Whatever we need on earth he will always supply.
We weren’t able to attend Katelyn’s Fund Thursday night because Stan had a wrestling meet. I miss the great time of fellowship and support. Hopefully we can make it next month.
Tuesday we have our Home Study update. Our interim social worker is coming to our house at 4 p.m. We covet your prayers that everything goes well.
