Hard to post lately. I use this blog for more factual or information for others.
The emotions are still there. Overly controlled on this blog but as I wrote my holiday letters last night- it was hard to update others with "still waiting to adopt."
My dream world was going to have her in our family pictures this year & to welcome her and introduce her to the Christmas card community of friends & family that we have.
Sigh...
I recently watched Evan Almighty with the family & a great friend. I am intrigued and think about a special quote in it lately.
The comment is coming from "God" (Morgan Freeman) to Evan (Steve Carrell)
"If you ask God for courage, does he give you courage or does he give you the opportunity to be courageous?"
So I am going to take this a few steps further -
If you ask God for patience, does he give you patience or does he give you the opportunity to be patient?
If you ask God for strength, does he give you strength or does he give you the opportunity to be strong?
I am trying to learn & grow from these opportunites...

I actually used the phrase "we are unsure as to when (if ever) we will meet our second daughter." That's pretty sobering. blech.
You have an amazing way of turning the negative into trying to see the positive!
thanks...
Okay - I have goosebumps right now.
I just watched it, too, and I have fixated on that quote as well.
It is SO true, and I think of all the times I have had my prayers answered and didn't even know it!!!!
