Well it's the month of November and soon it will be Christmas! My favorite holiday! :) I love everything about Christmas. It makes feel all warm inside.
With it being November it is normal to tell what you are thankful for. I cannot just put a number or day on what I am thankful for. I am thankful for so many things and people. God has blessed me and my family in so many ways and continues to bless us.
I have really been trying to be patient. We haven't heard any new news about the adoption. We have finished out our home study and now truly are just waiting. Just been praying and seeking guidance and understanding. I truly have learned how to be "humble" and follow what the Spirit is showing us. I have learned to listen to God's spirit to give us direction and guidance. Most recently I feel like God is really presenting himself and saying step out and follow me. Do you not trust me? I feel He is really telling us to take that leap of faith and trust him. Dave and I have a lot to pray about and seek direction but one thing I know is as long as we truly give "it" to God that he will do as he has said and will give us this little girl that I had the "vision" about.
My faith is as strong as it has ever been and I am learning a great deal about genuine love. We don't just love others because it's the right thing to do. We love others because God did and he sent his Son to show us. He has especially shown me how to love all kinds of children. Children with special needs, physical issues, internal issues and your everyday kiddo. I could really take every child I work with home and love them the same as I do Caleb. I really don't think I could say that about myself last year. God has given me a new found love and I thank him for it!
Today I kept hearing a very simple verse that Caleb and I read out of his "Little Bear's Bible." Mark 4, paraphrased, Jesus said "stop!" The waves obeyed! Why had they ever been afraid? the storm was
big, but God was there. Just like He's with us, every day. I really do believe that God is with me everyday and with us through this process of adoption. We are ready for this precious one to be in our home and for her to receive this abundance of love we have to give!
Until next time.....
Patiently waiting!
