Caution....Pity Party Ahead

Its that time of year again.....Christmas Time!!! Its so much fun to spend time with family and rejoice in the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. But if I'm being honest along with these things this is also a tough time of year for me. It becomes glaringly obvious that we are childless. We have no child to take to see Santa, to the church children's Christmas party, to play "Santa" & every sermon seems to be about birth of babies. Its SO hard!! Oh...and we are also still waiting to hear from DHR. .............Now that I'm done with that pity party. I can say that this past few weeks have also been filled with affirmation from God that we are on the right path. For that I am so thankful. Its so easy to get down and to have God right there reassuring us is an amazing thing. Micah and I both had a conversation with a young boy in foster care that is so hopeful to be reunited with his parents before Christmas. I pray that he is. Also during a sermon it was stated that "there are so many children that are unwanted and just need someone to love them." Sad but so true. I'm so ready to be a mom, I'm already planning for next Christmas! All the stuff we want to do with a child. For now I will be still and wait on My Gods plan to play out and pray that He keep my babies safe until they can come home to me.
