Available

Being available when the Lord calls upon us to be available it is often very difficult. It's usually not "our" timing, "we" aren't ready, it doesn't work into "our" schedule and so on! When Daniel and I started the adoption process with Isaiah we kept telling the Lord we were available and we wanted Him to use us...however that may look, feel, be, etc. Many moments have come along since then when the Lord has tapped us on the shoulder and said, "Remember when you told me you were available? Well...now it's time to show me!" Oh boy...can that be tough. We are feeling that tap again and aren't sure how it's going to play out at this moment....but praying for wisdom and clear understanding of the Lord's desire for our lives! We both feel like the Lord has kept us on our toes ready to spring into action since March of last year. When life seems to settle back to some sort of "normalcy" whatever that may look like is when things tend to get flipped upside down again. It can seem overwhelming at times and a bit stressful :) because I have no control and sometimes I dig my feet into the ground and try not budge...but that never seems to work! Obviously because it's not my plans...it's the Lord's plans that will prevail and to be honest...I like it much better that way! So now we are trying in our pitiful human attempts to be faithful, trusting that the Lord will remove all obstacles, jumping both feet in and awaiting the outcome!
