I don...Oh, Addie, my heart breaks for you as well. I don't think I feel sorry for you, although I suppose that's a fine line, isn't it? <BR/><BR/>"Hope deferred makes the heart sick." (Prov 13:12) That's the verse that so often comes to mind when I think of friends struggling with waiting for different things, and even for ourselves, as we are now waiting to have another child for much longer than we thought. <BR/><BR/>And yet the other truth that sometimes smacks me in the face is that all things works together for good for those that love God. Sometimes we would rather just NOT be conformed to the image of His Son if it means these hard ways. What strikes me about much of what you write, Addie, is that God is working in you a good work, that you are striving with Him as He strives with you. He is going to complete that work in you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532869503178164313.post-24107501133315629412008-07-21T22:18:00.000-06:002008-07-21T22:18:00.000-06:00Addie,We will pray for you.
