Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I had had enough so I said politely "No, there's nothing wrong with the bedding... what's wrong is that we were going to adopt 2 beautiful girls and now we can't because it fell through." If I could have taken a picture of her face when I said that, I would've posted it here... it was priceless and I could tell she was sorry she pushed me a little too far :) As I type this, I am overcome again with sadness.... I think it's time again to read some comforting words from God :) Or drown my sorrows by watching Survivor.... Maybe I can do both :)
