Sown in My Heart: Ball of Emotions

Ball of Emotions

Sometimes the Lord gets us out of our "comfort zone". I’m trying to follow in BLIND FAITH right now down this path he is taking me and trust in him alone.

Week #1=Lot's of hurry up and wait. I am a ball of emotions excited, anxious, nervous/fearful (will they like us, can we afford this), needless to say overwhelmed at the least. I spoke with Erin today and she will present Jason and I to committee next week. I can hardly believe it!?! WOW is all I can say. Erin E-mailed me some medical records and new pictures. She is sending me a video of how Wang Letong moves around via Fed-x. But we called her instantly after reading her medical reports and said we wanted her no matter what the video looks like. We have to fill out various questionnaires this weekend regarding adoption, parenting, adopting an older child, how we plan to deal with grief and such that will be presented at committee. I’m very blessed! Crazy to think though that we could be traveling to Qingdao City to meet our new daughter someday (Lord willing).

Faith

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
~Hebrews 10:24

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
~James 1:27

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
~Psalm 91:1-2

Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,and wait patiently for him to act.
~Psalm 37:5-7

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. ~Hebrews 10:32-36

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
~Hebrews 11:1

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper not harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.
~Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
~Proverbs 3:5-8

For this child I have prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked.
~1 Samuel 1:27

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
~1 Peter 5:6-7

A FATHER to the FATHERLESS and protector of widows is God in His holy dwelling. God places the LONELY IN FAMILIES and gives the desolate A HOME in which to dwell
Ps 68:5-6

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
~John 15:5

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
~Phil 4:13
