I wish I could comment anonymously because I could tell you how hopeless things have felt lately -- we're 7 months in to an older-child sibling int'l adoption. But you have brought me to tears and to humility and to a place of trusting that God knows, knows, KNOWS what He's doing in our family. I've been so crushed under with feelings of regret and resentment and questioning, and I have lost sight of these truths.

I agree, you must be doing something right. We've had some pretty rough days over here as well, so I can relate with you on many levels. One thing I know for sure is that as I've become more aware of the spiritual warfare going on around us, it has drawn me closer to God and I'm experiencing Him in a way I haven't before. From reading your post, it seems that these attacks are drawing you closer to Him as well.Rosanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690452106261806111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-183842935030233478.post-70591668880307071462011-08-31T08:02:11.994-05:002011-08-31T08:02:11.994-05:00Thank you for a wonderful post, Crissy!
