I is for

Insufficiency.

I am insufficient. I am not enough. I do not know it all. I have few answers to my life here. I am insufficient. I have been so confused these past few days.

Support that I thought we had, turned out to be insufficient. Answers, signs, that I thought I knew for certainty turned out to be insufficient. My ability to discern His will over my own has become insufficient.

Insufficient means lacking adequate power, capacity, or competence.

Today, I am insufficient. I am pausing to be still and wait on God. My Pastor told me I need to, I know I need to do so as well. You will find my ABC's continuing. You will not find me on Facebook. Not for a while. I love the support we have, I appreciate you all. The prayers are greatly appreciated.

God is revealing himself even still. Just today He revealed something I knew in my own mind was impossible and could not happen--but it did. I refuse to allow anyone the opportunity to befuddle me into believing what I see as God working in my life as not Him working. The smelter's fire is hot and I don't mind being burnt. I can take what He reveals, because He loves me.

I pray, if it is his will, then the Alexander for Taylor Family fund will continue to grow and multiply. I continue to believe the growth of that fund is a sign from God even if other people do not.

Christie, hi! I've been following you on FB. just wanted to let you know there are people praying for you. People you don't even know. God lead you to Alexander for a reason. I know you know that. It was no coincidence or mistake. He does have a plan. Stay strong during this time.
"I" can also be for "invincible", which God is, and "impossible", Nothing is impossible for God.

Christie, I am agreeing with Stephanie here. We have all been following you and praying so hard for you, your family, and little Alexander. With God, nothing is impossible. God has an amazing plan for you, your family and Alexander.

I agree with Step. Nothing is impossible with God. There are people praying and we will continue to pray until Alexander is home with you. Hugs

I just left a comment on your J post - sorry to be going backward! We know what you are going through...some people think that adoption is impractical, imprudent and ill advised...God thinks differently!!!! Read what my hubby had to say!
