In the Present


I've been struggling a lot lately with all of the uncertainty in our life right now. For a Type A gal - it's a mess! Fear has been eating my lunch. And, I guess that God knew in advance how much uncertainty there would be going through this adoption process to push me to the edge and closer to Him.

As we hit the 2 week mark before our first trip to Ethiopia to meet our baby girl, Carlos shared a few scriptures with me and encouraged me that we really have to be present wherever God has us. For today, what I know for certain, is that we've been called to adopt this baby girl. I guess God knew all along that I'd eventually accept that all I need is a map for today. The rest is up to Him.

So, here I am today Lord, ready to take this step of faith to open my eyes and ears to Your vision for our family in Africa. I pray that you will prepare our hearts to receive ALL of your blessings and direction during our days in Ethiopia. Direct our steps, Father.
