Well, sort of. I've been talking with God a lot about patience (or, more specifically, my lack of it). It is well documented in this blog regarding the adoption process, but it is also apparent in my interaction with my girls. This morning I went to my Moms In Touch meeting. (For those of you unfamiliar with this ministry--it is awesome. We gather together once a week to spend one hour in prayer. We praise God, confess our sins, thank Him for answered prayer, and lift up our children and school in prayer). Anyway, during the thanksgiving time, I realized how much more patient I have been towards my kids. That is a huge answer to prayer! I know I will still fail and be impatient many times, but as I have tried to walk with God (and be patient) during this adoption process, it has positively impacted other areas of my life. Isn't that just like God to bless us unexpectedly?
One other note about Moms in Touch...During the part where we intercede for our children we break into pairs. Each mom picks one of her children and both moms pray for the children (although sometimes I "sneak" in a prayer for another one of my girls that needs a little prayer). I usually just rotate through the three girls. I haven't yet taken a week to pray for "Domita Hope." Even though the other moms there know that we are in the process of adopting, I haven't been brave enough to pray aloud for Domita in this group. In truth, I know the other moms would be supportive. In fact, there are two other adoptive moms in the group (awesome).
Maybe next week...
