These are 2 excerpts from my She Reads Truth devotional this morning that seemed too good not to share. It was such a beautiful reminder of the Lord's faithfulness and loving response to us as His children. When we're in the midst of the waiting (oftentimes painful and confusing), wishing we could do something to put His plans in motion on our timeline, we forget that He sees the big picture. He's working all things together for His glory. As I've seen countless times, our stories makes so much sense in the end. We see what God saw all along, and I have never once been sorry that His will prevailed over mine.
Lately I have felt so overwhelmed by the Lord's presence in our lives. When I feel this little girl's kicks and punches all day long, it sometimes almost brings me to tears - what an amazing miracle she is. Sometimes I just sit and stare at the ultrasound pictures of her little hands and feet and face being perfectly formed by our God. It is astonishing and I can't seem to get over it. Honestly, I hope I don't. I am relishing every single moment and praise Him daily for choosing to make her part of our family.
When I'm dreaming of our little boy, oceans away, I keep reminding myself of His promises and faithfulness. He's going to bring this other miracle into our family at the perfect time, once again displaying His glory for all to see. Although my heart becomes inpatient and anxious to meet him and be together, I continue to ask Him to bring me back into that place of trust that leads to rest and peace in Him.
