Last night my husband and I were feeling a little down, we have some decisions to make and they were weighing heavily on our shoulders. We were stressed and frustrated. So we didn't do any of the bizillion things we needed to do...instead we sat here on my computer and looked up all our favorite songs and added them to my playlist-hint-the old country ones are his NOT mine lol! We played a song that we danced to at our wedding-Louisianna Saturday night, then we both said -I really wish our baby would come from Louisianna, *sigh* then we moved on to other songs. I crawled into bed and did my devotions around midnight and I was having one of those I don't want to do this HARD HARD waiting part surronding adoption anymore...I cried out to God please I am so weary of holding onto this dream, so dragged down by it always hanging over our heads...I just want to be home snuggling my little one and praising God. Then I gave everything over to Him and just said I can't do this anymore-please please take this burden off my shoulders. Part of my devotions had been about being still and focusing just on Him and at those moments you will hear His whisper. I fell asleep, being still, waiting on Him.
I recieved a phone call this morning just after eight from my adoption agency. They wanted to know if we would be willing to take 7 month old African American twins!
In Louisianna. They are showing the birthmom our profile today! I don't even know if they are boys/girls one of each...I am just so overwhelmed by God! All I could say to our worker was YES!!! YES PLEASE!
Now to add even more to this and God's impeccable timing...
Les works for the railroad and the end of May he was the train to back up into this siding that has a derail block at the end of it. It was a sixty car train instead of the usual 10-20 cars he was used to. Well he didn't stop it at exactly the right second and the very end car had one wheel go over the derail. Well this means everything stops and they get hauled in for drug testing etc.. He had a hearing a couple of weeks ago and he was cleared, he didn't get into any major trouble and we thought that was the end of it...well he found out last night that they suspended him for five days -this is normal for them to do-however the dates are unbelievable-he would have this Saturday to next Sunday off-SOOOO if this birthmom chooses us-he already has all next week off-we were worried about how he was going to get off work! Tell me our God is not AMAZING!!
So I guess we are back to having HOPE and FAITH that God will work all things together for the good.
Thank you Dad.
