Expecting The Blessings Of Family
Psalm 25:4-5
“Show me your ways, O Lord,
teach me your paths;
guide me in your turth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.”
It seems like I’ve been waiting for children for so long now. It’s been a long walk. I walk that’s taken so many turns. And now I feel as though I’m on the homestretch. I know that God probably still has at least a few more turns down this walk.
DH and I have always wanted children. For so many years, we didn’t buy anything without children in mind. We avoided sharp corners on furniture. We’ve bought vehicles based on space for children. We bought our home with extra bedrooms ready for a family. Then it seemed God played a cruel joke on us when we were ready to add the kids. It’s been a very long five years. The path God chose for us has been filled with disappointment, grief, and absolute agony beyond any measure we could have anticipated.
Now is the time to put all that behind us. We start what feels like the downhill stretch as we begin the adoption process- this year’s the year.
When I spoke of the changes coming to our lives in the near future with one of my dearest friends, she told me she’d keep me in my prayers “as God leads you and Cody to your children”. Those words resonate in my heart. God is leading Cody (DH) and I to our children. I pray for them everyday. And I can’t wait to meet them. It’s amazing how clear the journey has come for me in the past month. I can see God’s hand in all this and am finally completely at peace with the twists and turns our walk has taken.
