A Greater Plan

I wanted to let you know that we still have no news to share about our adoption. Lots of waiting. All is quite on our end.

I am doing Beth Moore's study on Esther. So good. When I was studying my workbook this morning Beth wrote a paragraph that was just for me. (We ARE good friends you know! That's a little comment for my Bible Study girls - ha!) Here's what is said...

"At some of the hardest times in my life, I have been able to make the more difficult choice out of pure blind-eyed, bent-kneed acceptance that I was somehow part of the great plan. I was beaten by a conviction that throbbed relentlessly against my strong self-centeredness. As much as my flesh wanted relief, I knew that when all was said and done, I'd sit on that side of glory having much rather fulfilled my calling than served myself all the way to meaninglessness. I had to accept that I was not called to an easy life. I was called to a purposeful life."

So, I am re-energized again today. I will stay the course to complete what God has started! A Great Plan for my family and for our little girly somewhere in Russia!
