Be Still

These words are so hard in my house. With two very active little boys I am seeing even more and more what that difficulty looks like. However, these are the dreaded words I have heard whispered to my heart so often these last few months by Father God. I know what He is telling me to do, but it is hard. He is telling me, for right now, I need to just be still and wait for Him. This is not what I expected two years ago when Jason and I answered the call to add to our family through adoption. I thought since we knew God wanted us to, that He would just provide the money and we would have our daughter home in no time. I mean, that is surely what He wants since He told us we would adopt, right? Hmmmmm, obviously to me now, NOT. I have come to terms with our place in life right now. It took me a while. I mean, I have to admit, life looks a LOT different than I thought it would. It has taken me a while, but I know we are right where God has us and I would not change a thing. So, we will be still. We will wait. I still believe in my heart that God has called us to stand on behalf of the fatherless, and that one day, we will bring home more children into our family. But for now, we will serve where He has us.
