NOT WHAT WE HAD PLANNED

"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord." The past 2 days have been very difficult for our family. On Tuesday morning, we found out that the birthmom of our baby changed her mind. As shock has turned to grief, I have come to a point of feeling very weary and worn. The thought of staying in a process that has brought pain doens't appeal to me anymore. We are grieving and have constant reminders of Jackson Lee. Everywhere I look in my house, I see baby items. WE just put our suitcases away and are now faced with the decision of whether to keep trying to adopt. Our paperwork is expiring soon, so a decision had to be made. I want to quit but God has placed a passion in our hearts for adoption and due to His calling on our life, we will move forward. I heard this song on the radio and it resonated in my heart. Thank you to those of you who have loved us through this tough time. On Monday morning, the day of His birth, I will choose to rejoice that God spared his life and pray that He will be taught to know and love Jesus.
