Life in limbo. That is a great way to describe us, right now. Our condo still has not sold and we are currently not matched with a potential birthmother. Hence, the life in limbo.
It seems as of lately, God has been reminding Matt and I that this is a journey and that we are not where God wants us to be yet, for everything to work out to His will. In my daily devotionals I have been reading through the bible, just finished Job, which seems to have added to my depression and frustration with God. But it also, pointed out to me, that I am not in control of this, just like Job, I need to let God work in our circumstances. And not continue to tell God that I did nothing to deserve what is happening to Matt and I. We are living and walking with Him, yet we continue to question, instead of trusting in the journey that He has us on. I also read in My Utmost for His Highest, "Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading." Wow, that same devotion included the scripture Isaiah 40:31, "but those who hope in the Lord, will renew their strength. They will soar on the wings of eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Those who have faith and hope...
We received the April update from Bethany, they are curently working with 10 birthmothers. Of which, 5 are already matched with perspective families. Pray with us, that we could continue this journey with a renewed faith and hope in the One who is leading us.
Amen, amen, and amen! Aren't you glad God knows you better than you even know yourselves? Allowing God to work His way with His plan gives us more than we could ever imagine. We love and appreciate the two of you so much.
