I envisioned I would have already written "Trust - Part Two" by now. I would have written how my daughter is doing better processing her adoption and that we are making momentous progress. I would be happy. You would be happy. And we would have a blog celebration of sorts, right?
Not so much.
A more deft update looks like this, I cracked and am worrying more than I was before and I feel like I am failing miserably. That is until I am reminded of the things I have learned thus far on this trusting journey and the beauty I have found along the way.
Even though my emotions on this journey are ALL over the place, God is the same. He is the SAME Refuge and Comforter. He has NEVER left my daughter or me, His love for us has NEVER wavered, and He KNOWS what He is doing. This dispenses hope in great quantities to my soul.
I have also learned that my worrying happens when I am expecting God's timeline to align with mine. I know His timing is perfect, but I am not always believing it. I am doubting, begging and asking God, "WHEN will we see progress?" and worry and fear swiftly infiltrate every part of me.
He reminds me of what this blog is all about, "He hath made every thing beautiful in His time." Eccl. 3:11 (KJV) I need to trust in the God who NEVER changes that my daughter will be healed beautifully in His time. Not mine.
Trusting with you,

Remembering God's faithfulness in the past is the best way to trust Him in the future. :) Love you lots!
