In light of new delays in the arrival of our boys and the struggle to stay positive, occupied, and trusting in His perfect timing, I've had a pretty consistent battle with myself the past few weeks. I've been furiously studying scripture, trying to soak up Truth while still being frustrated with how things are going. I'm so blessed to have some great friends and resources who have come along side me (and Bobby, but I'm needing it more) and shared both their experience and their wisdom. They have helped me to redirect my thoughts, away from frustrations and impatience, toward the true source of peace. Though I'm sure I'll cry later this week because I struggle, I am so thankful for the people He has placed in our lives and also the opportunity to be strong in Him when I am weak.
Another piece of encouragement I found was on this blog post. The title of the post, "Fasting from Fear," is exactly what we need to do during this time of waiting. It's from a website focused primarily on infertility but it is so applicable to our situation. During this Lenten season, and this season of life, I'm choosing to fast from fear. I'm choosing to cling to Christ; He will deliver.
