Tomorrow is a big day. Our facilitator is hoping to submit our dossier to the State Department of Adoptions (SDA). There has been a 4 day holiday (Sat-Tues) in their country and he seems unsure how that will affect his ability to submit. They only accept submittals on Thursdays so if he can't submit tomorrow we will have to wait another week. Just thinking about that makes me want to crawl in bed and not come out. Which brings me to Psalm 112:7. I blogged earlier how at every significant step in this process we face set back. I've found myself mentally preparing to not be submitted on Thursday, because that seems to be the theme of this adoption, and I'm becoming fearful. I'm expecting bad news at every turn because I've gotten so much of it so far. Then I remembered sitting in the car about a month ago listening to the radio and hearing their verse of the day. It was Psalm 112:7:
He will have no fear of bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD.
This is what I will now say to myself all day when those fears and doubts creep in. I will not fear bad news and will report tomorrow what happens.
