Enjoying the Journey

I have to admit that I haven't been the greatest at taking time to sit back & enjoy the journey that we are on. I have been solely focused on the end result & how to get there faster that I think I've lost some of the joy that can come with letting God work in me. I've had a tough week. The fact that we've been on a list for 2 months & our profile hasn't even been shown once started to get to me. How can you be chosen if you aren't even being given a chance to be chosen? I thought there was a need for families like us to open up our home & now nothing! Not that I expected to be chosen fast but I know that most people are shown numerous times before being chosen so I just felt having to wait even longer to be presented was not a good sign. I even vented my frustrations to a couple of good friends who were willing to listen. Then I got my daily devotional by email today & all of the sudden, I felt like I had been overlooking so many things with my impatience. Remember I said I wasn't good at it the patience thing at all but God is so very gently reminding me that I have to keep working on it. Here is the verse that I opened up & it brought tears to my eyes because I knew that it was meant just for me, just for today. Thank you God for your Word to remind us who You are!

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. "[Philippians 4:8,9]
