after having a phone conference with our agency on thursday i was a tad bit bummed... not because i doubt God's in control (i know He is)... but because i had already decided in my little "pea brain" what they were going to tell me during the conference :)
i know NONE of you do this, but... i can create a whole scenario in my head and believe it... so i knew before our meeting what they were going to say... but the reality of it is... they didn't say it... instead here is what they said... "we can get your paperwork ready to file next week, but it could still take up to 2 months to hear a definite travel plan... UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG... they obviously weren't in my head during story time, or they would have known it didn't go like that!
so thur eve (scott was out of town) the girls and i curled up on the couch for a night of our fav show... "seventh heaven" only pausing to watch american idol... and then we resumed for several episodes :) we ate lots of junk and laughed... but at bedtime my heart was still a little bummed!
friday am i had to run out early to the dr and then by a friends... but when i got home i entered the house (still nursing silently an achy heart) and this is what i saw...
smiles that light up the room... smiles that changed my morning... smiles that i believe God gave us to use as a gift to others... their smiles changed my mood! their sweet smiles made me refocus on all the good God had blessed me with, instead of the storyline i had created and was sad that hadn't happened! Jesus gave His life so i'd be blessed with life... i have LOTS to smile about!
a kind loving smile really can change the attitude of others around us... which can change the atmosphere around us... which can begin to change the world around us... by affecting one person at a time!
we will be celebrating a reunion with our boys soon and i will be posting pictures of their sweet faces for you to see... that thought is definitely worth smiling about!
