So I am kind of a nerd because I love to do jigsaw
puzzles. I like the challenge and though
I don’t get to do them often, but when I do get a chance to tackle one I enjoy
it.
I have been doing a lot of reflecting within and trying
to know and ask the Lord what he has in store for Terrance in I in regards to
children and the jigsaw puzzle came to mind.
There are lots of individual pieces that have to fit together just
perfectly to make in the end a beautiful picture. I envision me sitting at the Lord ’s Table
working these pieces but without seeing the full picture of what the end will
look like and just working the puzzle the way he guides me. At times I wonder am I trying to force a
piece together that doesn’t belong together or is that piece supposed to
connect?
The Lord has given me peace all along this hard and long
journey that he will bring beauty in the way of children and I am just working
the pieces the best I know I am able. I
know one day when I look back and see how all those pieces had to go together
first so that in the end we will his hand throughout the whole process. He is a faithful God and Savior.
Another thing I have learned in this puzzle is sometimes
I try to “figure out” what the Lord’s plan is and sometimes it doesn’t work out
the way I thought it should. So I am
learning and growing to know that he only gives us light for the step ahead and
doesn’t want to overwhelm us with how we get the prize but just to trust him no
matter what bad results or disappointments we get.
We are seeking right now prayers from our friends and
family for guidance from the Lord. I don’t
want Terrance and Stephanie’s plan but what the Lord wants us to do. His plan is much more beautiful than we can
ever imagine. We treasure your prayers
and thank you all for being with us through these 5 long years.
God Bless,
Stephanie
