And so He will your child.<br /><br />I also understand loss. My husband and I have three beautiful homemade children, but I also desired to adopt. We were chosen 6 years ago by a birthmother, wrote letters, got excited, and waited. <br /><br />We drove from Ga. to Texas to be there when the baby was born. One day before his birth our case worker called and said that the birthmother had decided to parent. We were devastated. She already had 3 or 4 children she wasn't parenting and we have no idea why the change.<br /><br />I do know that God is sovereign and He knows what is best for His children. I want nothing but what He would have for me. I am sure you believe the same. <br /><br />Remember, in His time. Continue to have faith!<br /><br />Jerm. 29:11<br /><br />Lisa QLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08374488130910988205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189930458895454091.post-79540365151153300552011-02-23T18:07:44.003-08:002011-02-23T18:07:44.003-08:00Hey Jill,

I know you know this, but God's timing is SO perfect; you will have such a beautiful story (pain and all) by the end of your journey. Yall are in my thoughts.Britneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14342170406442480665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189930458895454091.post-1785951323268402172011-02-23T12:38:14.917-08:002011-02-23T12:38:14.917-08:00I admire your faith and strength.

I think sometimes we go through difficult times in order to minister to others who have to go through the same thing- we can show them that with Christ, it IS possible to get to the other side and to have hope for the future. Thanks for shining your light for others to see!Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826913919163707391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189930458895454091.post-742964849017951892011-02-22T12:55:50.830-08:002011-02-22T12:55:50.830-08:00i can't believe i didn't think of this bef...i can't believe i didn't think of this before: i once studied deliverance under Beth Mooore. she said SOMEtimes God does deliver believers FROM hardships - by His grace and that other times he delivers them THROUGH hardships. and with this comes refinement. she likened being delivered THROUGH a storm to the refinement of a precious metal explaining that it has to be put through and through fire to be refined to it's purest form. i remember thinking that was such a beautiful way to process trial - to think of it as an avenue to a purer version of ourselves - a closer likeness to Christ. anyway, Beth's POINT was that we default to a feeling of abandonment and allow satan to convince us that God is not going to deliver us when actually no matter what happens God does deliver us - it just may be THROUGH and not FROM whatever circumstance we may be facing. geeeeez, i hope i didn't just butcher that into something incomprehensible. loooooooooooove you, precious friend.arrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00450783807174497546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189930458895454091.post-84143203728241742952011-02-22T11:04:00.316-08:002011-02-22T11:04:00.316-08:00Your newest follower...praying.Your newest follower...praying.Love Being A Nonnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10510618983227889123noreply@blogger.com
