Wrestling

I’m tired. Tired of wrestling. Tired of not being at peace. Exhausted.

Without getting into specifics or sharing too much about our family’s adoption journey…or worrying you or making you feel like there is some big juicy secret I’m not telling you, I’m just asking for prayer as Ben and I wrestle with a decision about our adoption.

Apparently this time of year is when God “messes” with us. Or maybe He is constantly trying to lead us and we’re just too hard-headed to listen until we’re completely worn down from the “fight.” Yeah, that’s probably more like it.

The abbreviated version of what’s going on is that I’m not at peace with something related to our adoption parameters. While Ben isn’t wrestling with it like I am, he is being fully supportive of me as his wife and feels that if God is moving me to do something, he should listen and we’ll make the decision as a team. I am so thankful for my loving husband who is incredibly open-minded!

Please pray that we will have open hearts and minds to truly hear God’s voice about this decision and that we will be obedient--no matter what.

Thanks for being so supportive!

P.S. (to my small group) No, I’m not trying to talk Ben into moving to Africa.  I swear!

I don't have anything grand to say either but right now I am doing a Bible study on Discerning the Voice of God and this week we are studying about how God is persistent in His message to us. For example, he called Samuel 4 times until Samuel realized who He was and answered Him. And that Satan is our greatest enemy because he will convince us that what we are hearing could not possibly be God.

Hope that helps in some way! Love you!
