Be Still and Know

I have to be honest and say that I am really struggling.  Another week has gone by, and we have not yet received our letter from MOWA.  I really thought that we would get it this week.  I have said it so many times, and you are all probably sick of hearing this, but I'll say it again..."Adoption is hard!"  I think my heart really, truly hurts right now.  I miss Havyn more than my mere words could express.  Our family is missing someone, and she can't get here fast enough.  Am I being impatient?  Probably.  Am I submitting this to the Lord?  Yes, unfortunately, I have to over and over again.  I was reminded of the above song today, and did a search for it on you tube.  Be Still and Know that I am God!  I hear God speaking this to my heavy heart.  Often times God uses music to remind me of the promises that He has given in His Word.  After listening to this song this morning, I wrote an email to another adoptive Mom.  This family has been on my heart, and I have been praying for their children to come home, as I pray for Havyn to come home. Please see their website and pray for them with us!   I have no words to offer except for promises in God's Word.  Funny thing is...the only words that I had to give are exactly the words that God wanted me to hear. 
"I certainly cannot understand the mind of our Sovereign God. I only know that He is good...all the time. I know that He is doing exceedingly and abundantly above what we ask. I know that the King's heart is in His hand, and like rivers of water, He turns it where He wills. I know that because of His mercies we are not consumed, and His compassions never fail. He is faithful! I know that when I wait patiently on the Lord, He hears my cry and brings me out of the pit. I know that we are not to trust in anything else but the name of the Lord our God. And I know that we are to continue to reach forward and press on to the call of God in Christ Jesus." 
So, even though my heart hurts, I am so thankful that I serve a Savior who understands my weaknesses and my struggles, and gives me His Word...His promises to cling to.  While I am waiting I will try to just be still and trust my God.
