Not much happened yesterday at our meeting with the social worker. She told us that she would email me with a final date next week and that it would probably be the week after Christmas or the first week of January. She gave us a complement and said that a person working with Bethany (the adoption agency) requested that they keep a copy of our scrapbook to use as an example for other families. To everyone that helped with the scrapbook- THANKS- our hard work paid off!

The song "You're Still God" (that most of you have heard a thousand times) was released right before my surgery in April of 07. I would never be able to count the times I have played this song and let the words minister to my heart and soul. It has been on my mind for the past several days because I have been thinking about Samuel and how God made a way where there seemed to be no way. I know the placement is still not secure but I do not want to fail in praising God for what he has already done. In the chorus the song says "... and I know he'll make a way somehow. He's still God and he is holding me right now" There were times when I thought that God would never make a way but I am so thankful that He held on to me when I did not have the strength to hold on to Him.
Are you carrying a heavy burden that you never dreamed you would carry? Have your eyes cried a million tears? Can you not find an answer or the reason for the trial? Remember God's ways are perfect and he has been watching all the while!
