Well, I was a little disappointed to find my favorite song no longer will play on my blog! (John Waller's, "While I'm Waiting") The lyrics perfectly described our adoption journey wait. I tried to rebuild the playlist and searched and fiddled with it for too long. So, I took it as a sign, maybe I should find a new song. I found two that hold special meaning to me. The first song, "Praise You In This Storm" by Casting Crowns, was introduced to me by a close friend and colleague who helped me deal with my mom's passing in 2009. As I listened carefully to the lyrics again, they still relate to the different "storms" that I am experiencing in life now. How fitting too, for a windy, rainy, kind of day. The second song captured my attention just by the title alone. "Ready for You" is exactly how I feel about the baby we will adopt. We are MORE than ready for a little one, for Him to bless us with a family finally. So, we continue to pray and wait patiently (and sometimes not so patiently). These songs are a source of comfort to us. What are the "storms" in your life? Perhaps you might find these songs relate to you in a different way.
