Keep praying, keep studying the word, while you wait upon the Lord and He will lift you up. HE WILL! I have struggled with depression before and as I began to push myself to read His Word and try to pray - He lifted me out of that miry clay and set me back on solid ground. I can't speak about what will happen and what coarse this road will take, but I believe with ALL of my heart that God has beautiful purposes in breaking us sometimes and forming us into a new creation. His promise is that He will never leave us nor forsake us AND that He WILL work all things together for our good if we love Him and are called according to His purpose! Your heart for Priscilla is the Father's heart keep pursuing, keep pressing in, and know that He sees and He loves.Anicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219144882830898320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619220330002497337.post-35039405090001177882010-11-20T17:02:55.508-08:002010-11-20T17:02:55.508-08:00Oh Crystal,

I had many sleepless nights, cried millions of tears, and wanted to throw my hands in the air and walk away MANY times. I felt that I was doing what the Lord was wanting me to do, but my heart just couldn't take anymore. It seemed like we kept hitting every bump in the road and everyone else was just sailing right along. I spent many nights just praying that my babies would be in my arms where I knew they were safe. No matter how fast I tried to get everything done, God prepared the way when He wanted it to happen. In the end, ALL the tears, frustration, and sleepless nights were SO worth it. And looking back I thank the Lord for allowing it all to happen just the way it did.noah and michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749213714837587686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619220330002497337.post-29771173881829895202010-11-18T08:01:34.551-08:002010-11-18T08:01:34.551-08:00Thank you to all of you praying.

Gracie, it does completely change my perspective on being "in control", I didn't realize how much I just wanted to take charge on everything. <br />Melissa- that means a lot coming from you. I have been reading your blog, and WOW! you sure have been through a lot. I will keep holding on. If only I could just take it one day at a time, it is just so hard doing that when I know a little one is sitting in an orphanage without me.Crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079283785228132950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619220330002497337.post-53727049043044430222010-11-17T13:36:45.359-08:002010-11-17T13:36:45.359-08:00Keep hanging on!

Believe me when I say that EVERYTHING that you go thru will be so worth it. I just was praying over liza tonight and said I would do it ALL over again if I knew I would have her in the end- and I would. In a heartbeat :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642862372348186465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619220330002497337.post-52517641065577014192010-11-17T13:31:42.645-08:002010-11-17T13:31:42.645-08:00I well know the feelings of hopelessness and frust...I well know the feelings of hopelessness and frustration. Our paperwork got lost between DHR and CIS and it took us three months to find out. Adoption definitely challenges our desire to be in control! Hang in there. I know trusting God is much easier said than done, but it us the only way to peace. He will get you through!gracie :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16736417091010028486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3619220330002497337.post-946573613841166212010-11-16T21:12:13.118-08:002010-11-16T21:12:13.118-08:00Crystal, I feel so sad with you, but know that God...Crystal, I feel so sad with you, but know that God cares for you and loves you and your family.
