I LOVE reading your blog and started from the beginning...landed on this post and it struck my heart big time! I, too, suffer from being like Martha - a control freak and tend to want to push things along. However....adoption has been a huge teacher and I've actually been more calm and patient in this process than anything ever in my life. Don't get me wrong, there are days when I just want to scream from the roof tops that I'm tired of the waiting, tired of the paperwork and sooooo over the fundraising. That I just want my little girl already! But then....I just remember that I am not in control - thankfully and that I am not in charge - thankfully. God has showed up in our lives big time during our adoption process and He has changed us for the better...He still is! Refining us, making us better, breaking our hearts for what breaks His...it's amazing. Truly amazing. I love your blog!! Looking forward to keeping up with your journey. Many blessings!!!Dreams of Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755057723971887563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494674360021813809.post-9465768220227678922011-06-16T09:04:04.698-05:002011-06-16T09:04:04.698-05:00Wow, what a challenging word!
