Trusting

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5


This is the verse the Lord gave me last night as I was reading before bed. I am so thankful I have Someon I can trust and that I don't have to lean on my own understanding. Waiting stinks, and I don't understand it. I am really sad. But I know it's okay, because I trust that the Lord is Good, Sovereign, and that He loves me and wants what is best for me, my family, and my sweet baby boy.


So last night I went home and made our baby a blanket. Total nesting therapy. Here is the finished product:

I'm pretty proud of it! A family who is travelling next week is going to give it to him for me. We're hoping they'll be able to get us more pictures of him as well. That is the only way between now and our travel to get pictures. I think that will be the hardest thing for me -- not knowing how he is doing, growing, changing, etc. for 4-5 months!

On the bright side, this delay increases our chances of being able to travel with our friends who are also adopting. So now we're praying for that.

We are praying and waiting with you. I love the blanket. Making things for Londy, & getting her room ready are one of the few things that make me feel close to her! I am so sorry about your disappointment..I totally know how hard it is.
Love to you,
