Another no

Last month we got another call about a baby. We said yes, but God said no. I answered the phone this morning with hope in my heart, but disappointment seeped in when I heard the words, "you were not chosen to be the the family for this child." 

The hardest part of all is the waiting. preparing our hearts and lives and home and then hoping... Getting to see photos, reading a file, talking about this baby by name.... Hoping.... Not knowing. That's the hardest. We knew when we said yes that it might not be our baby. We accept that now. But, the waiting sucked.

    You said the exact words "you were not chosen for this child." God is getting your child ready. All the steps and disappointments that you will encounter are difficult. However, it just means you are one step closer to the child that was chosen for you. Know in the end God has a plan for you, your husband and your child. Keeping you in prayer!

    Ruth, I am so excited that you have chosen to blog about this. It gives me exact ways in which to pray for the two of you! Know that there are prayers coming from California for the Foster family. Love you!
