Be Still and Know...

I was having a bit of a struggle at work today not being able to focus. So I grabbed my bowl to make oatmeal in the cafeteria and have a little "Jesus Time" I felt His presence so greatly as I poured out my heart..."I’m preoccupied with this whole thing, worrying as to why the attorney is not showing up and I know we are not going to hear from them from quite awhile, I really need to trust you Lord and pull myself together” Jesus said “I’m here” and I teared up a little and said quietly “show me”…

I went back to my desk, opened my computer and saw an email from our Adoption Agency- it said "Attorney" in the subject line! My heart kind of stopped as I opened the email.
It went on to explain that they had been in contact with the attorney several times and her plan was that she needed to wait until she had our Dossier in her hands so that she could work with the kids dossier. It made sense. I was so taken back by God's immediate response to my need. There are times when I need to hear something and other times when I NEEEEED to hear something and it always amazes me that He knows the difference. Actually I guess it's me that is learning the difference as continues to build my trust in him with our kids.

About an hour later I received ANOTHER email saying that the attorney received our Dossier today in Haiti....hahahaha... I LOVE THIS!!!

Oh MY GOD IS! He tells me to be still and KNOW... just know...
Thank you Lord for loving us so much and caring about every detail of our lives. I'm never NOT amazed by you....

Feelin the love today....whoo-hoo!!
