Road blocks...


Why does it seem like just when things are moving, and you feel certain you are following after God's heart a road block comes your way. One after another. I'd be lying if I haven't stopped and wondered if I am truly doing God's will. Because in my mind if I am, then this should be much easier. Right? 
I was sooooo certain, and mostly I still am, that God has called us to adopt a baby from Ethiopia. We knew that coming up with the money would be our biggest challenge. It has proven to be a struggle. We don't have extra income. I took a part-time job so that we would have enough income. And still even then we struggle. I don't know where we thought the money would appear...maybe that money tree in the backyard would finally bear fruit? All I know is God is bigger than my issues with money and if it is His will, it would be on His bill.  Like that? haha. Just didn't think it would take this long...guess I have to remember it is also on God's timetable, not mine.

It's so hard when those decisions are not on our time table. Keep your faith, your Heavenly Father know's the desires of your hearts. I wish Adoption wasn't so much either we would have adopted our second by now. Love you guys!!

Have faith that this is your path. A road block is only a temporary state. Something that one collects thoughts and guidance in front of. Something that shows the need to regroup and find a way around, over, under or through. A road block can be reduced to a simple speed bump in blink. You will find your way in time around these delays, just listen with your heart. Think, pray and have faith.
Your answers will come. I love you.
