Be Still...

Philippians 4:6-7
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

This verse grabbed me earlier this evening. God trying to (for the 49th time!!) get something through to me? I think so. I have been requesting and requesting and requesting. I have such a hard time being still...being quiet...being patient. I feel Him working in my life and through me. Does His plan for me match up with the plan I have for myself? Probably not. Am I okay with that? Absolutely. I have the "peace of God". I believe that He gives each of us gifts and passions for a reason.

Adoption- I want another child(ren) so badly! Is this what He wants for our family- only He knows. I am trying, trying, TRYING to be still...be quiet...be patient. Oh, it's so hard! Maybe His plan for me is not to have more children. Maybe the plan He has for me is to put the desire to adopt in someone else's heart. I will follow Him- regardless! Yes, my heart may be broken but that's okay. I'll just keep on praying.
