This time last summer, we were mailing a mountain of paperwork and a chunk of money to the adoption agency. To say we were happy and excited would be an understatement. We were still blown away at how God had worked everything together in just the right way & in such a short period of time, and there wasn't a doubt in our minds that He would see this through to the end. (It's easy to have faith when you're on the mountain-top..)
In the year that's followed, we've had days where our faith has wavered. Times of wondering if the season of waiting will ever end. Times filled with uncertainty and anxiety. Times where worry and doubt follow us around like a rain cloud.
During these doubt-filled days, we go back to last summer and the day we mailed the paperwork and money--the day when our faith was so strong. Going back and remembering this day and all that took place last summer strengthens our wavering faith and causes doubt to vanish.
Being reminded of all that God has done, makes it easier to trust Him for all that He is able do (and will do). So, I'll continue to revisit these moments many times from now until Sam comes home--the rain cloud will stay away, and my faith will be less likely to waver.
