Ok, I know I shouldn't stress and I KNOW God is in total control, yet I can't help feeling a little anxious and impatient. On the one hand I want my dtr., Anah, home yesterday! Yet I am still concerned with where we will get the last $2500 that we need for travel and expenses while I am over there. To be honest, there isn't any place else we can get it, so the Lord has to provide it in His timing. Of course, that's what He has done all along with both of our adoptions.
When we started out adopting Jonathan we didn't have the money either, but stepped out in faith and the funds were there when we needed them. Same with Anah, we started and we didn't even have the rest of the money we needed for Jonathan, yet knew it was what we were supposed to do. As always, God is faithful and provides. During it all I still have an occasional "anxious" moment or two, but even then I know I serve a faithful God, I just need to remember it is ME that has to work on the faithfulness issue!
I guess it is in part due to the fact that October is a day away. Anah's birthday is October 17th and I had wanted her to be home for it. Now I would be happy to be with her for it so she doesn't have to be alone. I doubt she will realize it, I don't imagine they celebrate birthdays with the children, I think they have a hard enough time just providing the basics. I had gotten her a crown and earrings to wear to mark the occasion, I guess we'll just have to do it after she gets home. I LOVE celebrating my children's birthdays with them. I always try to make it special for them. Their favorite meal and favorite cake (pie or cookie) to put their candles in.
October 12 will mark Bob and my 6 year anniversary. What a blessing to be married to such a wonderful man. He is so patient and loving towards me. He loves our children and wants only the best for them. He loves our God and strives to be in His will in all things. I had never known such peace until I found my Lord and my husband. I am truly a blessed woman. And the icing on my cake is our children. The Lord continues to show His love for me by blessing me day after day.
Asking for prayer for my little Anah, to bring her home and for provision for the finances to do so.
