Full of Hope

This week has been one of the best weeks since I've been home from Louisiana. The waiting this go around has been horrible until this week. When I was in church on Sunday my mind was wandering. I was thinking and worrying about all the adoption stuff. Then I kinda snapped back to the sermon right when pastor was talking about how when we sit in church and worry it's like not trusting that good will take care of those worries for us. It helped me so much to hear that. All week whenever I've started to worry or get anxious about the adoption thing I've just reminded myself that God is taking care of it. God is preparing me for motherhood and he is preparing a child for me. It has given me such peace and so much hope. I'm so thankful that my worries are easing some and there is a quiet in the storm of my mind.

Adoption Blog Carnival

There are so many great adoption blogs out there. I've been lucky to find so many great ones. But I've searched and searched to find them. So I thought it might be kind of fun to start and adoption blog carnival to help meet new bloggers and get to know more about one another.

If you have never taken part in a blog carnival have no fear! It's painless and actually lots of fun. If you look on the sidebar of my blog you can see a little link box that will direct you to the blog carnival site so you can enter your blog in the carnival. What you do is select a post from your blog to have in the carnival. It can be any post you want as long as it is about adoption.

After you have entered the carnival please put a post on your blog letting your readers know about the carnival and how to enter themselves. Then on the day of the carnival you can come back here to my blog and you will see a lovely little blog carnival of links to some great adoption blogs. Well hopefully there will be a lovely list. We have to get folks to enter first.

So please take the time to enter and encourage your readers to also. Maybe we can make some new adoption friends and find some support as we move forward in our adoption journeys.

Best wishes!

Jessie

Oh the first adoption blog carnival will be on October 1st. Please enter your submissions no later than the last day of September.

Long Time No Post

It's been awhile since I posted last. There really isn't much to report so that is why. I'm still just waiting. Waiting for the phone to ring. Waiting for a baby to arrive. I'm not such a big fan of waiting but I'm hanging in there.

I've been going into the nursery this week which is a new thing. Originally when I got home from Louisiana without the baby I just put all the baby stuff in there and shut the door. I didn't open it for weeks. But this week I have started going in there to sit and pray. It calms me down now and helps me focus on what is important. It's a very calm and peaceful room which makes me feel good. I know that some little person will find solace there some day. Let's hope it's a day real soon okay!
