A Day's Perspective

Just thought I'd let you all know that I have simmered down a bit since yesterday's post. During Garin's nap yesterday, I spent some time in focused prayer, which I desperately needed. I asked God to take away my anger and give me understanding. I acknowledged His power and timing and just gave it back to Him. The thing is, I don't like waiting, but I know from experience that His timing is best. The real difficulty for me comes when other people seem to be imposing their own timing by lack of diligence or attention. I told God I don't expect it to happen in my time, but that I do want it to happen in His, not anyone else's. I have asked Him...again...to take control over every aspect and to accomplish His will.

There is such peace and power in just letting go of the things we can't control, but it can be so hard to do!

Anyway, we're disappointed but at peace today. We are working with a wonderful agency, but even the best agencies have blips at times. As I told Karl yesterday, we're still much better off than if we had not used the partnering agency. At least now we're moving forward, even if it's not at the breakneck speed we want to! They didn't have to help us at all!

Please pray with us that our documents will be registered on the next available date, April 22, if it is in God's will.
