WE HAVE IT!!!

We have the referral! Oh it feels so wonderful to have it. Finally we can move on!

This morning I was reading some verses in Psalms, oh how I needed to read those! I should have read them a few days ago.

Some of the verses that really stuck out to me were:

"I trust him with all my heart"

"I will praise you forever"

"May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart be pleasing to you"

I was challenged, as I knew that had not been me the last few days, so I wrote in my journal.

"Am I living like I trust you Lord? Am I? With all my anxiousness and worry over getting Nina's referral, am I forgetting who you are? Am I sinning against you?

I trust you with all my heart, I really do. You are my strength and my shield and you hear me. You change my sorrow and sadness and change it into dancing and happiness.

I will praise you forever. I want my words and thoughts to be pleasing to you always, today and tomorrow.

Oh Lord you are my rock and my redeemer."

And so I gave it up to God, nothing is under my control, and my anxioussness was literally making me sick. I had to give it up, I could not carry such a load any longer. What a wonderful surrender.

I counted all the blessings and miracles He has worked in our adoption process. He is in this, and He is good (wise words form John Stumbo).

It was a few minutes later that we got the phone call, we could get our referral.

How good God is, oh how good. God is in this, and God is good.
