Last year at this time I was getting ready to start a new job, David was getting ready to go to London for 2 weeks and we had totally given up on the hopes of adopting a child. It has been just over a year since I posted the following:
June 2008: We both feel that if this was really meant to be we would not still be at step one. We have had all that we can take emotionally and need to move on with our lives. We have been stuck in “baby wish land” for far too long and need to figure out what the real plan for our life is.
When I wrote that post I had no idea what God had in mind for us. I just remember feeling so crushed that our efforts to expand our family had failed.
As I reflect on what has happened in our lives during this past year and what has happened in the lives of our family and friends I am reminded that God’s plan and timing is always perfect. We may not understand his plan, but we don’t need to we just need to trust in him and know that we are never alone if we trust in him.
