Seeing in my Heart

The world of adoption and all it's options and paths.
Trusting God.
Believing He is all-knowing.
Believing and resting in His Sovereignty.
Knowing He is good and loving.
Knowing He has a plan.
Knowing the plan is a good plan.
Trusting God's order for the family.
Knowing my husband is the leader of our home.
Knowing God will lead me/us through Derek.
Waiting.
Quietly.
Silently.
Praying.
Praying.
Praying.

"Rejoice in the Lord"
by Ron Hamilton

God never moves without purpose or plan
When trying His servant and molding a man.
Give thanks to the LORD though your testing seems long;
In darkness He giveth a song.

O Rejoice in the LORD
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end of each path that I take,
For when I am tried
And purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

I could not see through the shadows ahead;
So I looked at the cross of my Savior instead.
I bowed to the will of the Master that day;
Then peace came and tears fled away.

O Rejoice in the LORD
He makes no mistake,
He knoweth the end of each path that I take,
For when I am tried
And purified,
I shall come forth as gold.

Choosing to be grateful and thankful for each and every step along our path.
Keeping my eyes on my Savior--Who loves the children more than I could ever imagine.


Update as of September 8, 2011:
Derek and I were praying about a "door" of opportunity. We decided to "knock" on that "door" and see if God opened the path to us or kept that "door" closed. We found out tonight that the "door" of opportunity was not God's plan for us. Yes, my heart is sad, but I do not want anything that God knows is not the best for us. He knows everything. I trust Him, His timing, and His way.
