The wait can be deafening at times. Some days I am totally fine and other days doubt creeps in. I was reading a China-research article the other night about the Hunan baby trafficking that occurred and after reading it, I felt really confused about what we were doing. I was questioning whether we were on the right path, etc. etc. I then went to bed and as my head hit the pillow and I stared at the ceiling I asked God, "What am I doing? Am I doing your will?"
I then picked up a devotional book on the nightstand. I opened it and the page automatically fell to a page I had marked earlier: "4/4/06--regarding adoption, finances, the future. I claim this verse." The verse is as follows:
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23.
I had underlined unswervingly twice. :) I just smiled and knew my answer. Yes, we are on the right path and we must stay unswervingly to that path!

4/4/6 is my birthday! Coincidence?
I'm feeling a little "swervy" lately and your post made me stop and think about my own doubt. Thanks for this!
Mardi....we are all in this together! We will continue to hold eachothers hands and in the end we will have done it together. Stay strong. You are not alone.
I saw your comment on Pandapalooza. I'm her friend, Mommy spice. I have a daughter from China with the same name as yours. She is from Hunan. You are on the right path, and when you get her in your arms, you will understand God's love in a new way...as we are adopted sons and daughters of God. It's an amazing experience, and called of God. Yesterday was our 3 year Gotcha Day. Blogger won't let me post pictures right now.
Thanks you guys! It's awesome to have such good friends.
Kathy, it's funny that date is your birthday! My LID is Steph's birthday! I don't believe it's a coincidence, it's the Red Thread! :)
I don't believe in coincidence either. There is much more to this than that.:)
Hey Mardi! Like Kayce said... we're in this together! When one is not strong, another will be strong for you! The path seems so very long, but I truly believe that it will make the union of our new families so amazing! Stay the course, stay strong, and again, you are not alone!
