This morning Iwoke up with so many things on my mind...packing, making sure work was all wrapped up, how was Ally going to do on the trip, how is she really going to like having a baby brother, how is Will doing, is he safe and healthy, am I going to remember everything and am I going to get everything done before we leave on Monday...and the list goes on and on.
I don't know what made me do it, (well, I do, I'm just shocked I listened) but I decided to take a moment this morning, even with everything going on in my head, and listen to what God had to say to me. And here's what He said, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say again: Rejoice! Let your gentlesness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be axious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Phil. 4:4-7.
Not much needs to be said after that...our God is in control of this whole journey, and He has blessed us in so many ways...with amazing family and friends, with two precious children, and with His peace...peace that calms my anxious heart.
So, I really wanted to share that with you this morning, and to try my hand at this blogging thing (I know all of you will be disappointed when Scott has to go back home...he really is an amazing writer, isn't he?!)
Thanks to all of you who are following along...we so appreciate your prayers and your support!

great verse Beck! Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteSo excited to see what God has planned for you all! Fellow dayplanner friend, take peace in the fact that God has your days all planned out and He has already been thru tomorrow! Beck, I also praise God that you heard Him speak to you today in His Love letter! Eager to follow your journey to parent Will! He is so blessed to have you and Scott as his parents!
ReplyDeleteAMEN!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBecky & Scott, I was so happy to hear the wonderful news about Will!!!!!! I will pray daily for you as you travel to meet your sweet little guy and pray that everything goes smoothly once you are there with him. I am sure he already has a line of little girlfriends waiting for him, but I think Sophia should be first in line since their birthdays are so close! Hers is December 29! And he will love her when he meets her, I just know it! =) Have a WONDERFUL time with your beautiful family! We are so, so, so happy for all of you! Rachael VH
ReplyDeleteSO happy for you all...I can't wait to continue to follow your journey to unite you with little Will.
