Waiting

God gives me what I need when I go to Him and ask.

I was feeling so down and discouraged around Christmas with this adoption process going slower than I expected and I just felt so alone. I was trying so hard to help myself, but kept failing, as I always do when I try to do things on my own. I finally got desperate and told Shannon he better start praying for someone or something to encourage me. I sat at the dinner table weeping with no control and Hannah our 4 year old leaned over and just rubbed my back. At that moment I felt God's hand touch me and comfort me through her. Hannah has always had a special way of ministering to my heart.
The next night our agency told us we were approved and on our way to finishing the next step in the process. We also had an email that 2 people had given money for the adoption. One in the amount of $5.00 and the other in the amount of $1,000.00. I broke down and cried for my lack of faith once again and the faith others have for our ministry in adopting our daughter Ramiah.
I am learning so much about God and His love and patience for HIS Children. Waiting for my child to come home is one of the hardest things I have ever done, but I think of how many times He waited for me!
