Exited!

This last week I have felt encouraged and exited.  I had been feeling a little lonely in this journey and down because I want my kids home.  I know that I have not been waiting that long but it does not make it any easier.  Our pastor spoke about having pitty parties when our plans don't match up with God's plans.  Well that was totally me. 

God did mutiple things this week as I was crying out to Him for something.  Some kind of supernatural comfort...although I was not sure what I exactly wanted.

First he brought me to this verse from Psalms 9:
The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord accepts my prayer.
What a comfort in a time of frustration to know the God not only has heard me but he accepts what I have to say.  He is one awesome God.

Next I met a sweet girl who just got back from meeting her daughter in Ethipia.  Her and her family are adopting through the same agency as us and hooked me up with a talk group.  This may seem like a simple thing but it makes such a big difference.  I have gotten to see the foster home where my kids will live in pictures.  I have talked with families that will probably be traveling around the same time as us.  I am loving it!

Finally God gave me a new kind of exitement for our referral and what is to come.  It is an exitement that does not come with anxiety and an exitement that assures me it is going to happen soon!

***There is something else but it is a secret for now!  I will be giving out a little clue via my blog sometime next week so stay tuned!
