God's timing is perfect, even if it seems like it's taking long, in the end, it'll be so worth it! Keep giving your frustrations over to him (as I know you are) God is able to take all we dish out at him. ;) <3 Praying for you today...

I know that when we speak things out that aren't as though they are God hears us. Begin envisioning these things to take place as you pray for them.

You are a lovely, compationate and caring person...you're smile lights up a room and your heart is full of love. No worries dear friend.......just trust in the Lord..........he WILL direct your path and see you through. I know it's been a long haul, but you are in control of your emotions.....and think..... yes, think...how you can glorify the Lord in this situation.

During our nearly four year adoption ordeal, I can't even begin to tell you about the innumerable times that I struggled with resentment, jealousy, frustration and anger toward God (and truthfully, I'm likely to continue to deal with these emotions as we embark on the real work of parenting our little ones). My times of waiting for God to move mountains on behalf of our family felt so hurtful and discouraging. And yet, He is SOOOO faithful, so steadfast, and so preeminent over all your circumstances. God understands when you are discouraged. He knows that your jealousy and frustration are all a part of the journey that He has been bringing you through - and He will bring you through because He IS, and always has been, and always will be, a God who moves mountains! Much love and prayers for you and Ben! - Sara EdwardsUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11113996053616673996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090277881332820433.post-31124126657400855642010-10-11T18:19:52.983-07:002010-10-11T18:19:52.983-07:00Ohh you do my heart good, like medicine...I see yo...Ohh you do my heart good, like medicine...I see you post things like this:<br />Strength to endure.

Yet, to have each moment so, so, full is exausting. I will trust Father for His inner strength in all things. I too, would feel like "Why can't I have what others have" occasionally. Just remember Father understands our feelings AND don't let satan beat you up, saying anything else. I love you, Marion (cute couple at the end) :) :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
