A God who Commands the Stars

This is what the Lord says -

the Holy One of Israel and your Creator:

"Do you question what I do for my children?

Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?

I am the one who made the earth

and created people to live on it.

With my hands I stretched out the heavens.

All the stars are at my command."

Isaiah 45:11-12

I've been reading through Isaiah lately, and there are so many things the Lord is showing me that I haven't really seen until now.  I feel like I'm reading with new and fresh eyes.  We have been on this adoption journey for almost 10 months now.  It seems like it has both flown by in some ways and is taking forever at the same time.  It's hard to explain.  

Up until now, there has been so many "tasks" to get done regarding the adoption.  Paperwork, passports, home visits, fees, etc.  Now that we're officially on the waiting list (as of September 11, 2012), there isn't really anything to do like that until we get a referral (which they are saying could be up to 9-12 months away).  So we just wait.  Waiting is hard.  There are times when I begin to feel myself becoming discouraged with the wait.  All we want to do is hold and love on our son.  What does it have to take so dang long?  

I have to say though, when I start to feel this way,  He quickly reminds me that He is sovereign and in control and has a beautiful plan for our family.  How can I not trust a God that made the earth and stretched out the heavens?  How can I not be excited about what He has in store for us?  How can I not want to wait for this unimaginable blessing that He's keeping safe for us even now?  No, this isn't so easy, but we are feeling blessed that the Lord is so good to us - His children that He so dearly loves.
