God's voice

It's not always easy knowing if you are doing the right thing. Sometimes, things start off feeling so right, but then you get confused or start thinking that what God wants just doesn't make sense. That's how I've felt lately. A great friend of mine helped me get back on track (thanks Liz). She helped me realize how important it is to talk about your feelings and she let me ramble on to her for probably about 2 whole hours!! And she still likes me!! Lol! :) Today, I talked to a wonderful woman of God who adopted 4 children about 40-50 years ago. I like talking to others who've adopted because it reminds me that I'm not alone. But something she said at the end of our conversation hit me!! She said that this past weekend, her whole family, all 32 of them, including children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, were at her home for the holiday weekend. She and her husband looked at each other and talked about how they have been blessed more than they could've ever hoped or asked for. That's when I felt like it hit me. If you've been following my blog, you know that that's our verse. The one that pretty much started this whole journey. I know that it was God confirming that what I'm doing is right. It has been so easy these last few months to get down. So many of my friends and family have a family and I want us to experience that too. I just have to trust in God's timing. And just to update - our papers are being turned in tomorrow!! I am still so thankful for all God has done, but I'm even more excited about what He's going to do!!!
