"Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." Hebrews 10:23
I am clinging to that promise right now. It seems that yet another week has slipped by with no progress. We have presented to two moms since last Monday. We still don't have an answer on one, and we found out today that the other one chose a different family. Our agency is hoping we will hear from this mom by tomorrow since she's had our file for almost two weeks now.
We were particularly disappointed when we found out this BM did not choose us today. For some reason, J&I both felt more drawn to this situation than any other one we have seen so far. Maybe the circumstances just touched us, or we felt more comfortable with it. Of course the one positive thing is that they weren't 100% sure it was a girl. We were taking a chance on it because they haven't seen any evidence of it being a boy.
I am grateful that I haven't had a meltdown over not being chosen yet. But I will admit that after presenting to five moms, I am a little discouraged. So far we have 3 who chose a different family, 1 that we pulled out of, and are still waiting on the last one. I know that it is all in God's timing, but some days that is very hard. There are a couple more situations lining up for us, but both have some "issues" that need to be worked through. Nothing that our God can't handle though!
Resting in the Faithful One...

Praying. Take courage...From Streams in the Desert:
"God, who does not lie, promised." Titus 1:2
Faith is not conjuring up, through an act of your will, a sense of certainty that something is going to happen. No, it is recognizing God's promise as an actual fact, believing it is true, rejoicing in the knowledge of that truth, and then simply resting because God said it. Faith turns a promise into a prophecy. A promise is contingent upon our cooperation, but when we exercise genuine faith in it, it becomes a prophecy. Then we can move ahead with certainty that it will come to pass, because "God...does not lie." from Days of Heaven upon Earth
