Sorry for the silence

I have been such a bad blogger lately.  I have been so busy that by the time I sit down and open my laptop to blog, I just kind of go limp. Physically, mentally, emotionally....limp.  It takes every bit of energy that I have left at the end of the day just to drag myself to the freezer and get three two one ice cream sandwich.  I keep telling myself that I don't want to be one of those bloggers who only blogs a couple of times and then just completely stops.  Of course, I have ran across a few of those, and it drives me nuts!  I want to know what happened, did they adopt? Get pregnant? Have a failed match? What happened??!!! I promise, I will not leave anyone hanging! 

However, after many days and nights of prayer and crying (on my part of course, I can't get Roger to cry no matter how hard I try....ha ha) Roger and I have decided to leave our current agency.  We had not turned in our paperwork to them yet.  We only had to get vaccinations updated for our dog Bear.  He has reactions to the shots, so I have to medicate him and take him on a Saturday so that I can watch him the rest of the day.  Well, EVERY single Saturday, something kept coming up.  In the meantime, we kept praying, and seeking God.  I have found several different couples in different phases of the adoption that are using our agency and they have nightmare stories to tell.  One couple in particular, the wife has become very dear to my heart. I actually have not known her very long, and I have only seen her a couple of times, but we talk often. When God puts someone in your heart, you can feel their pain, and I felt hers.  I prayed with supplication for our friends, our agency and our situation. 

And you know what? 

Do I even need to type it....

God answered.  As always! 

He put things and people in our path that made our way perfect. 

I am still praying for the agency and for all of the families that are in the different stages of adoption with them.  I have met some people who are really hurting and it breaks my heart for them. They have so much money tied up in this agency that they don't feel like they can leave.  Please help me to pray for them.

 Dear Heavenly Father, I ask that you bless the families going through trials during the adoption process, no matter what agency they are with. Minister to their spirit, and where there is pain and hurt, give them your mercy and healing. Where there is fear, reveal your love and give them courage. Raise up their spiritual leaders, and friends to support and encourage them. In Jesus' precious name I pray, Amen.
