Whirlwind

I have so much to update you on, but don’t know where to start! That’s how I feel right now. The last four days have been good, busy, and hard.

Brad was here Friday night late till Monday morning early, we packed in a lot of activities and the time went way too fast. Monday, after I took Brad to the airport, I crashed physically, mentally, and emotionally. It was amazing to have him here but then he was gone.

I had my honey do list waiting for Brad when he arrived, and he was able to check off most of the items. We visited three potential family providers for Bryson. They were all kind, caring and compassionate people. I have four more families that I need to contact yet, but with the few we did meet, we can see Bryson finding a home in one of them. Bryson has a tough time making decisions or giving his opinion on things, but he expressed very strongly the family he liked the best.

As we are meeting families, Bryson’s application with the government agency still has not been accepted. They still need a few more documents. I check every day online on the government site where I need the miracle to happen for the changes and document and nothing is there yet. I have been given till Friday to submit it or I will have to voluntary remove his application. Please be in prayer with me that this happens in the next two days.

Bryson and I attended Elevation Worship w/Stevan Furtick concert last night in Glendale. It was powerful but this is what I am wrestling with today. God performs miracles… I believe He does! God has His plans and purposes for us… I believe He does! He knows what is best for me…. I believe He does! I believe in the power of prayer… I believe He answers prayers! When I pray and wait on Him to answer, I feel my anxiety rise and I KNOW I need to surrender to His timing…. So, what do I do now?? Do I pray without ceasing…. The Word says to do that! Do I surrender it to Him and lay down my worries and let His timing be His timing? So how do I pray without ceasing and ask for a miracle and wait and surrender and be calm all at the same time??

I welcome any words of wisdom regarding my wrestling, I need you all to hold my arms up during this time. Ok, enough of the deep stuff. Brad, Bryson, and I went to BBQ and Brisket supper with live music at Saguaro Lake Guest Ranch on Sunday night. The surroundings were breathtaking, the food and music were great. I marvel again at the handiwork of our God, the unique landscapes/climates that He has created for us to enjoy.
