By Faith: Hebrews 11

Today we traveled to Tennessee for Memorial Day and a church service with family. And as always, you were on my mind - but Sundays are always stronger and often harder. What a wonderful message we had though that, I felt, spoke directly to our journey to you.

We had read Hebrews 11 - "by faith." Going around the room we each shared our own verses that could be added to this chapter. Keal's verse was so simple, yet so touching to me. "By faith Keal knows he is exactly where he's supposed to be." It reminded me to be content with where we are on our journey to you. It reminded me to be thankful for what we have right now as our beautiful, blessed, and happy family of two. It reminded me that there is a plan for us and right now, where we are as this family of two is right where God wants us to be.

I shared my verse after Keal. "By faith, Courtney is learning to let go of control and trust God's plan." That is exactly what this journey to you is teaching me. You will soon learn how I have a need to plan and control everything. You aren't even here yet and you are already teaching me that the only one who has control is God.

I loved that following a down-day yesterday was a message all about faith. I am excited for the day when I can share my verse to be added to Hebrews 11, By faith, Keal and Courtney conceived their first child.

Until that day, I will continue to wait and pray for the day I meet you.
