I spent much of last evening in prayer asking God to give me affirmation as to what I'm doing. Is it what He wants? Am I following His will in doing what my heart believes is best for my child? I usually don't ask God for signs since I try so hard to walk by faith. But, last night. I did. I told Him that I needed to know that I was doing the right thing pertaining to Anna Grace.
This morning, Scott and I had a late breakfast and I put the kids down for an early nap. Then, I began to do something that I rarely do because a) I'm usually not interested and b) I don't have the time. But anyways, I started surfing blogging sites, not related to adoption. The 2nd site I open (that had nothing to do with adoption), this picture is the first thing I see.
THANK YOU, JESUS!!!! That was all that I needed.
Off to Honduras! ðŸ‡ðŸ‡³

This just knocks my socks off! What a wonderful GOD we serve! Don't be so hard on yourself - asking GOD to provide a sign sometimes. He loves you and he loves Anna and wants to affirm your heart!

I just caught up on the last few posts and I wanted to say how much I appreciate your honesty and how much you share your feelings and life with us. Before we went to China, I followed so many blogs and journeys, never once reading anything that wasn't happy! Sure I knew people only share the best moments but I was so unprepared with how I felt those first few months home. Although before going to China, I would have read a blog like yours and thought that would never be me, but after coming home and experiencing it, had I read a blog like this it would have been so helpful. I felt so alone those first months home, but had I known others experience some of the same thoughts and feelings it would have been very comforting. I think what you are doing is a great service to the adoption community. People need to know that many adoptions are not easy but the blessings that come from them are unmeasureable.
They are so adorable.
