My Ebenezer

Today I am feeling completely overwhelmed. The Adoption Lady called again to tell me that “Grace” is coming back and will officially flip for adoption. She listed several more children who are available for adoption right now in our area – it’s overwhelming because there is nothing I can do about any of it. I want to grab the reins and take control but it isn’t possible – even if I could, I know that the control belongs to God. Why is it so tempting to try and take it away from Him?

I think another reason for me feeling overwhelmed is that this is all getting closer with each passing day. I mean, the idea of a child or children sounds wonderful – but the reality is terrifying to me. All of my friends who have given birth tell me that they went through the same feelings of fear and anxiety before their children were born. I guess when you face such a huge change, you can’t help but be a little scared.

Acknowledging my anxiety helps to ease it. Thanks for listening.

Phil 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.NKJV
