OK....You guys saw me at my lowest....



That was the lowest I have felt since we began this adoption process one year ago. All of a sudden I was body slammed with SO many emotions. The sun is now shining on me again, and I am so thankful to God. I came to the realization that if God's timeline isn't what I wanted that I still must trust Him and put my faith in Him. Sounds simple, but it was a HUGE moment for me. God has taken care of me throughout this journey, and I have to continue to place my trust and hope in Him. I am NOT giving up on Anne Pearce's miracle, and I will pray for that EVERYDAY. I just know that God is taking care of her for me now until I can have her in my arms. Even at that moment He will still be taking care of all of us. You all are so good to me. You were all here to help me stand back up when I fell, and I thank you.


Love you all!

Oh boy have I been in that place. Your miracle WILL happen in God's timing. God's time is so different than ours. It can be overwhelming. It is a huge step you just took emotionally. Hugs! Angel

Hi,

I remember hearing somewhere that if you wanted to make God laugh, tell Him your plans. It makes me laugh to think about it because God does know when all of these babies will come home. The moments I can let go and and realize that it will happen I feel so much better too.

Lou,
I think that we have been in the same place. Giving something like this to God is a huge step of faith. We feel that we need control. I am so glad that you are feeling better. Praying that you have a PGN miracle and good news really soon.

You KNOW we're praying for that miracle daily, and however God decides to reveal His plans, I see a miracle every time I see a picture of that precious baby with you & Andrew. She knows who you are and there is love on her face with every smile she gives you. She is a miracle all by herself.
lovealee! Daisy

You are coming around the home stretch. Hang in there. We all go there from time to time, but it is others, that God sends along the way to "remind" us of His faithfulness, that bring us out of the pit. I will continue to believe Him for your quick out.

I LOVE the first picture--she is adorable!!

Oh Lou, we all hit that point. I think it's just the human in all of us crying out. Thankfully, we all know that we can cry out to God at any time. Hang in there! This too, shall pass! Much love!

Lou, Now that's the attitude we are looking for! We know how low the lows can be, we've been there more than once during this adoption. From our experience the prayers and support of those around you are what will get you through. (A few worry dolls can't hurt either -LOL) It was after one of our lowest moments when this unexplainable calm started to come over us. We were able to enjoy life again and found joy in other people and their successes. You know what happened next. The Lord works in strange ways and knows what we need. We just need to go with the flow and be the best we can be for him! We will be there for you Lou through the highs and the lows and you know this will be worth it.
