Wisdom and Waiting

Originally posted April 7, 2008 on our old Vox blog.

So, as we continue on this journey, we are realizing our need for guidance and wisdom. We would appreciate your prayers in this area. In the weeks and months ahead, we are surely going to be faced with some tough decisions for which we will definitely need God’s wisdom.

We have created a list of questions to ask our agency, and we are having a conference call with our social worker tomorrow. Hopefully, our social worker will be able to answer our questions, but we also might have some information to sort out. We can only wait and see how things go.

I did, however, have an encouraging moment. I posted several months ago a post titled “We’re Expecting, Too.” Our church decided to put in their March newsletter. A member of our church was able to take the article and give it to her sister who is in a similar situation as Scott and I. The sister obtained my email and said,

“I never realized how much I needed to know someone who was like me….until I read your letter…Thank you for sharing your story. It met me right where I was and God used you to comfort and encourage me. ”

I share this with you – not to toot my own horn – but because I was encouraged and greatful that God used something I wrote and that I had found a kindred spirit – even in a stranger. God has truly brought some special people into our lives through our adoption journey. As Scott and I continue through this process, we pray God is able to use us in more ways. Again, we can only wait and see.

  1. Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.

  2. I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

  3. Hello,
    I am a very hard worker, and I would be blessed if I had the opportunity to make a difference in the world. I am a teacher of 6th. grade Language Arts, and History, and I teach my students about the plastic garbage patch in the P.O., I am always amazed at how just a little bit of educating of my students makes a difference, but to be able to tell them about an experience that I had helping to eliminate or fight against this would be influential. I want to win this because it’s important to me to do something, and I think if people knew how to help, they would!!!!!
