Faith is not a belief that everything will turn out to please us; rather it is the confidence that no matter how things turn out, God will somehow use the events in our days for His glory and our good. (E. Stanley Jones)
I have spent alot of time thinking about this whole adoption process on this trip. It is so hard to want something so badly and to have so little control over what happens. I always wonder if these visit trips are as hard on Layla as they are on me. She actually did not want to go back to the foster mom this time and just clung to me. I have to say it made Mommy feel pretty special until I had to hand her over. The look she gave me made me wonder: Am I coming for me to fill that void of the baby I long to have or will it be easier on her when we do come to pick her up. I have to hope that some good will come out of these visits and that one day we will see more clearly the meaning of the wait for this little blessing.

Jolene-
I know I have said it before, but you truly are an inspiration to many of us. You are handling all this with such grace and your faith is so admirable. I pray with all I have, that your precious daughter is in your forever arms soon.
God Bless,
Julie
