2 verses that will provide me comfort for both of my children.

When I was pregnant for Jaxon (like any first time mom) I had fears about delivery. I remember sitting at the end of my dining room table just bawling and searching Gods Word for comfort.

I was blessed to find Isaiah 41:10 and 1 Cor 10:13. These verses where such a source of comfort for me.

What I find interesting is that while I am waiting for our new Baby, God keeps bringing these same verses to mind. These verses that I literally wrote on 3x5 cards so that I could easily grab them while I was in labor are now ingrained into my mind.

So when Satan tries to tempt me to believe the lies....4 YEARS AGO God was preparing my heart and I am prepared to quote verses of truth and SHUT satan UP!!

It's comforting!

OK so .... I wish I had more to update about the Baby. Not much has changed. We are still in need of (we think) about $3,000. Eek I know kinda scary but in just over 6 months we raised almost $22,000. So this last $3,000 "should" be a piece of cake.

I am diligently trying to make plans for another fund raiser and actually have one in mind but finding a time is the issue now.

God is good all the time!! Our little family has grown closer through this whole process and I would not change that for the world. God has opened my eyes to the huge needs here and around the world. He has shown me how selfish I am and how I can live with so much less. He has been teaching me to let go of my pride and trust Him. These are ALL life lessons that I wouldn't want to learn any other way.

I am not sure what your feelings are about adoption but KNOW THIS : God will change your life forever... You will walk away a better person and most importantly a better child of God. You will look at your life and almost laugh at how ridiculously selfish you seemed. I know some of that doesn't sound like any fun... but when you think about the tiny lives God is using you to save... your selfishness seems like a small price to pay.

Anyway these are just my thoughts.
