So, Chris and I had an interesting week, starting on Monday when we went to an adoption info. mtg through our agency regarding adopting another baby. We knew the average wait time is 18 months, so we thought we might as well get the ball rolling. We also thought since we already paid for our home study, certification, etc. that it would be less expensive to adopt the next time. Come to find out... Charlie's adoption was considered 'private' and the agency took care of the legalities. To adopt again, we'd be using the agency as a 'full service' agency which would also be a much fuller price tag. We left that meeting shocked, discouraged and to be honest I started worrying again... how are we going to expand our family?
AS IF...
God didn't JUST bless us amazingly less than one year ago with Charlie...
I was reminded of the Israelites, who had JUST been freed from slavery and then started complaining about what they were to eat, completely forgetting God's provision. I guess all these generations later, God's people (i.e. me) are still quick to forget.
So there it is: my weakness... I'm still trying to set some sort of plan; failing to put complete trust in Him, even when He has proven to be so trustworthy. How thankful I am that His grace is sufficient for me, now and in what is to come, and His power is made perfect in weakness.
(2 Corinthians 11:27)
