This has been such a very frustraring week! Things haven't gone as I had hoped and I am still waiting on information that I don't have! However, God has been answering my prayers! I am sure you all know this, but even when God's answer is NO, he was still faithful to answer the prayers of our hearts! Sometimes it is really difficult for us to accept His answer when it isn't always YES. And, while I have always known this, and God has told me NO on multiple other occasions, this week's NO was still very difficult! My heart has been sad and heavy this week! But, God has and will continue to give me the strength I need for today! Here's another truth.... the strength that God gives us is like the Manna he gave the Israelites while they were in the wilderness. He only gave them enough Manna for that day, perhaps our portion of strength is like that Manna, otherwose we might not have need to trust him for the "Manna" the next day! And, while I am feeling very much like I am in the "desert place" God is still providing the "Manna" that I need for each day! And, with the 20/20 hindsight that the Israelites didn't have, I know my "Promise Land" is on the horizon! My prayer is that I will listen to God and not have to wander in this "wilderness" for 40 years!
Thank you for your continued prayers1 Please continue to pray as I meet with the Executive Director, International Program Director and my Sweet Social Worker this week to determine what exactly is the best plan of action to take at this point in my journey. Unfortunately, we may be re-visiting the idea of changing countries, which I am not certain I want to do! But, this is God's Journey and He is in control! Please pray for God's wisdom, will and His strength to endure! And YES, she is worth all the waiting that I have to do! Please pray for my sweet little girl while she waits for all the "grown ups" to get everything worked out! Pray for God's protection, provision and will for her as well!

On the Journey With My Chosen One!
I am sure you might wonder why I call her chosen rather than adopted.... well, adopted is just her physical condition, CHOSEN is what we both are to be a family together! God is so rich in His Blessings, and He has chosen each of us from before the time we were knit in our mother's womb to be a FOREVER family! How BIG is that? How BIG is our God!?! Thank you for following our journey and for praying for us as we wait and continue to grow in the love of God! -- Blessings!

About Me
- Rebecca
- On Mother's Day of 2006 as I sat in church watching a baby dedication, a woman there was dedicating her adopted daughter from another country. I clearly heard God say to me, "You can do that!" Well, my first thought was "Lord, are you joking?!?" Of course, He was NOT! I then spent the next two years praying about and researching adoption. Of all the things I have always been sure of in my life.... being a Mom was definitely one of them! After much prayer and consideration I submitted my application for adoption on my 35th Birthday, August 31, 2008. And, YES, this is the "CRAZIEST" thing I have ever done in my life! But, you only get to live this life one time, so BE a little CRAZY sometimes!
