I don't know what's happened to me... Well, I do know actually. God has replaced my fears with complete joy and PEACE. I look at Ashlyn's smiling face from her birthday photos and my heart leaps with anticipation. My mother in law said to me the other night, "You know Rebecca, I've really been praying for you guys and for Ashlyn. I just have such a peace about this. I think you all are going to be just fine." Do you know how huge that was? My in-laws are amazing. (Part of why I married my husband:) They have always supported us. They know our trust is in the Lord. But this wasn't an immediate excitement for them. It took some time for them to get totally on board. That is one thing I want to emphasize here. For those of you waiting...
Time is a good thing.
Time has given us a great gift.
Don't begrudge the wait.
God will use it to grow and stretch you and totally transform you IF you will allow it.
Stay right behind Him. Not next to Him or running in front of Him...
Right BEHIND him.
My sweet Bloggie friend Annie just announced some exciting news over at Cornbread & Chopsticks. I am over the moon happy for her and her family. This is the verse on her blog and I want to leave it with you because I LOVE IT. And because it's perfect...
"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying, 'This is the way; walk in it.'" Isaiah 30:21
Blessings,
Rebecca
