As many of you know I am planning on adopting my unborn niece. She is now 2 days over due and it causing me to stress a lot as I want to spend a good amount of time in my sisters state after the baby is born so they can have time together, but if it goes much longer I will not be able to spend as much time down there as I wanted to because I have a large family and big events are coming up, plus appointments that cannot be rescheduled. I did all I could with the apts/ect that I had control over, but some, like school events I cannot change. A already know I will be missing one-two that are really important to me. But the others all grouped in one to-two weeks. Sorry dont mean to totally stress, but that is why I am on here. I am really happy about adopting, it just really stressful to wait and not really have things planned out. I know this I something that cant be planned and I am trying to totally trust God's will with this and I know he has a plan and I have to have faith in that. But I do forget to do that and want to control things, which is leading me to stress. So please if you have time I could really use a word or two of encouragement and prayers for his divine will.. Thank you.

Wow, sounds like you have a lot on your plate.
I saw this scripture and thought you might like. "We also have joy with our troubles, because we know that these troubles produce patience. And patience produces character, and character produces hope. And this hope will never disappoint us, b/c God has poured out His love to fill our hearts." Rom 5:3-5
Wishing you the best in your adventures, and remember part of living is to enjoy the moments. You can't do that if your stressing about other events. Maybe write a list of all the events you want to be a part of and then pray about them, pray over them and possibly find other ways in which you can be a part of it (ex. contribute in some way, such as food, a present, a card?) just ideas.
Hope things settle down for you soon.
Take care,
J

I get Joyce Meyer on my facebook. She posted today Joy and peace are found in believing the promises of God. If you are upset or sad, I suggest you check what you are believingӔ At first I was like ouch that is harsh. But the more I got to thinking about it the more I saw that I am not giving the adoption over to God totally. I dont like the feeling of DHS having the control, and I was reminded that HE has the control not anyone else including me. So in prayer today we talked about why I am upset and that I donҒt understand why they did not pick our family for the child I have been praying for. I was reminded to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.Ӕ Sometimes we have to tell our minds and our flesh to be still. His plan is always better than the best plan we can make. It has helped me today, I hope it will bless you too!
