Watching water boil...

I've been asked lately how it's going with the new adoption. "What new adoption?" is my first thought.

Have you ever stood over a big pot of water waiting for it to boil? Well, that's what it feels like. Yet, as God promised with our last three children, I know He's working behind the scenes. I've yet to once pray about this situation and feel that maybe it's not what we should be doing. I always end up with that same inexplicable peace in knowing that He's got it under control. So, trust me....I've been praying A LOT!

I know His timing is perfect and if I meddle with His perfection, chances are pretty good it'll end up being disastrous. So, I continue to stand over the huge pot, watching and praying for teeny-tiny bubbles to form at the bottom.

I'll close with one of the entries in my journal for this adoption. I just love it when God does little things like this!! :)

God keep’s showing me little signs. Today we drove past two little girls with an adorable lemonade stand, selling lemonade for 25 cents a cup. They waved and we kept going. I felt bad and told Scott to turn around and buy a couple of cups of lemonade from them.

We pulled up and asked for 2 cups, the little girl hands them to me. I give one to Scott and keep one. When I look at my cup, it’s got “Diego” on the cup with big letters next to it that say “African Adventure”. Thank you Lord! You made my day!
