God Room

As I sat reading a reply from an email I had sent the words 'God Room' just shot off the page. What does it mean for me to give God room? I thought about it for a long time and realized that I give Him a tiny closet, not a whole room when it comes to getting things done in my life. We have always worked hard for everything we own, we have always done all we need to do for ourselves. Of course I pray and believe God's will prevails but do I always give him room to work. The answer is I really don't, I like to do things myself.
So with a humble heart I write this post about the room I am giving God in this new journey of our lives. The desire to adopt was planted in our hearts many years ago, before we were humbly blessed with our boys. Honestly, I kind of thought once we had children this desire would change, I would feel our family was complete. So the tugging of my heart keeps on, year after year, but I just keep asking God to remove it. You see our first pregancy was a little girl and as much as I wish she could have been here with us I am excited for the day we are reunited in heaven. I really thought I had worked through this and wondered why I kept having this strong desire for a daughter. Then one day it became clear to me, there is a daughter on earth for us, she is maybe waiting right now or not even born yet. So right now when I say we are giving God room he pretty much has the Great Room in this area of our lives. We are not financially prepared for any part of this journey, but with much faith we will move forward, raise money, work extra hours, do whatever it takes  to bring home a daughter, a sister, a sweet little girl who belongs at home.
