It seems to have been awhile again since I've taken time here to write out my thoughts. Somehow here we are at the middle of September already! And tomorrow we head to our new fertility specialist...I'm pretty excited for this appointment. Just join me in praying for clarity after we meet with her! I really have no idea if we are going togo through any treatments right now, but it will be very good to ask some questions and try to get some answers. We're coming armed with a lot of information, so that'll help hopefully!
We've been praying that God will allow us to see the open doors in front of us. Sometimes we get so focused on what we think should be happening that we don't see how He is working. So I don't know...whether it's pursuing other forms of adoption, or just continuing on our current path. We're learning how to WAIT on the LORD. It doesn't do us any good to try to forge our own way because it doesn't lead anywhere on our own power. But it's tempting to try to hurry up life and hurry up the journey (that's what I'm best at!)...but slowing down, seeking God's will, and waiting on Him will undoubtedly be much more effective. I can't remember who's song it was at the Life Light music festival, but the words "Wait on the Lord" really stuck out to me. I've been pondering them since.
Psalm 27:14 says to Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
As I've been researching that, other words that stand out to me are:
BE STILL
SEARCH
SEEK (my face, my heart)
And from a devotion I read recently: "Do not expect God to have every little task written down for you, or even for Him to whisper to your heart by His Spirit. God's leading and direction takes many forms. God leads though His written Word, through wisdom, through godly counsel, through circumstance, and by direct communication from His Spirit."
So we wait, and we WAIT. And we're learning bit by bit what both of those mean!
Thoughts?
