Adoption: Don't Be Discouraged but Be Encouraged!!

Our kids are coming home today.  I feel like I am on the verge of tears! On one side I am so excited and I can't wait to get to know them and care for them.  They all are yearning for a mother and I am ready.  But on then I am on the verge of tears because of how many people are for you and the realization of how many people are against you or think badly of you for making this giant step.  The people you think would be your main encouragers and be there for you when you just need to talk are your main discouragers.  I can't dwell around people like this.  When I am going through something this big I have to surround myself with those who are uplifting and encourage me to press on.  

When the Lord paves the way -- He does not mess around.  No doors are not pried open, you don't have to look for a window to make things happen, it is easy and the Lords finger prints are all over it.  If the Lord says this is going to happen -- it happens. So to those who don't agree with what I am doing -- that is okay.  I do not answer to you -- I answer to my savior.  Just keep your negative opinions to yourself and talk with someone else about how you disagree with me. To those who encourage me.....bless you!! I know the Lord has placed you in my life to keep me going.  If I were to change my mind these three children would have been separated on Friday (tomorrow) and sent to different homes.  This move could have been the very thing to cause these children to live for the world only.  These children need our family.  My husband is just as passionate on this subject as I am.  These children who are in a relative placement right now are being neglected to the point it is an emergency to get them out of there.  With tears streaming down my face at this point I sincerely want to thank those who support me and who encourage me to press on with the Fathers plan.  Sincerely.....THANK YOU!!!!
