There has been one thing the Lord has continued to ask of us throughout this process, and that has been to Trust Him. There have been many times that news would come to us that was not what we were hoping for, or even worse, news that made this process seem literally impossible. However, through it all, the only thing the Lord would remind us to do is to Trust Him! Today I was reading a short daily devotion and I had to share it, because so many of us are in the same boat here. These devotions are written as letters from Jesus.Trust Me one day at a time. Trust keeps you close to Me, responsive to My will. Trust is not a natural response, especially for those who have been deeply wounded. My Spirit within you is your resident Tutor, helping you in this supernatural endeavor. Yield to His gentle touch; be sensitive to His prompting.
Exert your will to trust Me in all circumstances. Don't let your need to understand distract you from My Presence. I will equip you to get through this day victoriously, as you live in deep dependence on Me. Tomorrow is busy worrying about itself, so don't get tangled up in it's worry-webs. Trust Me one day at a time.
Psalm 84:12
O LORD of hosts,
Blessed is the man who trusts in You!
Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow,
for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
I pray that today you Trust Him in all things!

Oh my, did I need to read this right now!!! I'm only in the beginning stages of this process and already see how God is stretching my faith and my trust in Him. The road ahead looks so long and, at times, almost impossible. I get weary just thinking about it.
Thank you, Michelle, for sharing. It is a blessing to watch you, now at the end stages... knowing how very far you have had to come. It gives me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that we can trust God to accomplish His will in our lives even when it seems so impossible.
Praying your kids are home SOON!,

Awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. :)
oh, and I love the new blog look. All the pictures are amazing.
Perfect! Than more than you know!
thanks. "tis so sweet to trust in Jesus, just to take him at his word, just to rest upon his promise, just to know 'thus saith the lord'"
not always so easy, is it? thank you, michelle. i think i'll read this every day.
We were having the trust issues too, but about a week or so ago we really just put our trust in God, that if our life path is what He wants, everything will come together. It has been such a relief to do that! :)
Thanks so much for sharing the devotional.
This is lovely, and you're right. All of us adopting parents needed to hear it. Some days I trust Him with all my heart and think, "man, I'm getting pretty good at this!" Ha! Then He knocks me right out of my pridefulness, and I have to search for that strength anew.
