Adoption Update
As some of you may know I am waiting for my blessing from God. I turned down a placement from the adoption agency last week, it was a 4 year old boy and a 1 year old girl. Let me tell you that was a difficult decision to make but I prayed on it and did what God and I decided was best. Passing on those two children hurt my heart a little but I will bounce back.
I now find myself checking my email and my phone repeatedly hoping for that call. Something inside of me tells me that I will know when the right child for me comes along. Part of me thinks that I will have that aha moment, and the other part tells me that I will hear God's voice telling me that she is the one.
Thank you to some of you for your prayers and well wishes. I appreciate the positive and the negative.
I have been wanting to say this for awhile and those of you who read this will know if it is disrected at you or not. Here goes:
God made us all different for a reason, you should never expect a person to change who they are so that you may feel better about who you are. If you are not okay with you then change it. Stop blaming everyone else for your shortcomings, I am not competing with you at all. Everyday that I wake up I just want to be the best me that I can be on that day.
Everyday since I began this adoption journey (this time) I realize that GOD has blessed me to be surrounded by some of the most giving and loving people and I so thankful. I realize that there will always be negative people in the world but I also know that I do not have to have them in my life.
So this is my notice to anyone who has issue with me adopting, thinks that I am wrong for doing this alone or whatever else your issue with me is. Your time is up, I will no longer allow negativity invade my space or my life.
With that being sad to the rest of your lovely people I love you and I thank GOD for your presence in my life. And if you have never thought of adopting or fostering a child let me leave you with this scripture.
"Whoever receives one of these little children in my name receives me and whoever receives me receives not only me but the one who sent me." Mark 9:37
