The Only Thing To Do

When Kade was born, he had a few problems.  He was born 3 weeks early and actually spent the first 3 weeks of his life in the NICU because he had trouble eating.  At the time I was SO annoyed with the strict NICU eating regulations because I felt he would have come home long before this.  Well, after getting him home God made it SO clear to us why he needed to be in the NICU.  After only being home for 2 days, Kade turned blue and stopped breathing.  If the NICU staff hadn't taught me CPR we would have lost him.  To make a long story short, Kade spent another 2 weeks in the NICU and had test after test after test (and saw multiple doctors) to try to figure out why he continued to randomly stop breathing.  During this time we learned that there was nothing we could do but trust God.  We had no clue if Kade would be okay or not, but we had to trust that God had a plan for this.

I feel like we are in the same situation now.  We have no clue what the outcome will be.  Even though our agency thinks we will be matched by August 23rd, no one really knows.  I would love to jump on a plane to Rwanda right now and plead our case, but that would definitely be frowned upon.  So at this point all we can do is trust God.  Trust that He has a plan for this.  God has a purpose for all our suffering.  God desires for us to grow from these tough situations.  So right now we are doing the only thing we can do, trust God.

Praying for God to move mountains in the next 23 days.

Thank you for all your prayers and support.  God has definitely given me a much needed peace and we truly can feel all your prayers.  God really reminded me this weekend what amazing support we have from those around us, especially our adoption community.  We wouldn't be able to do this without you!!!
