What are you up to Lord?

I went to the post office today to mail off the agency fees for the baby. Turns out Ken Taggart was there and he wanted me to call Gail and talk to her and then pray before we made a final decision. He knows a birth mother and they would like for us to consider that option. I left the post office with documents in hand. I called Gail and she said that we should know something by next week. I explained to her that Darrell and I had prayerfull sought the Lord's Direction about adopting from China. I told her we had been praying about this and expanding our family with adoption. She then laughed and said maybe he is going to really expand your family with 2 babies. I called Darrell and went into the situation at hand. I was driving and did not even realize where I was going. We discussed the situation and we felt lead to stay on the path that we know that the Lord has us on. I went to the post office in Rockford and sent the documents and fees. We are taking it a step at a time and prayerfully considering what the Lord will have us do in the future regarding this whole situation. The one thing that I know right now is that my baby girl is waiting for me in China. One day at a time, one step at a time.I took Sherrie shopping and we were driving home in the fog. I told her the fog reminded me of my life. Meaning that I can not see very far ahead. God did not give me a flash light to see into the future. He allows me a lamp that lights my path just enough to see immediately in front of me. Instead of looking for the beaming light that would light up the whole city, I pray that I can be content to know that the Lord gives me the ability to see exactly what I need to see. I must walk in the moment and not in the future. Continually asking His leadership for ALL aspects in ALL areas of this beautiful, wonderful foggy life.
