"Trusting Him leads to quiet hope,
not bitter resignation."
in addition to that deep thought, which i just can't expand on yet...my heart is too raw...i'm also trying to eat healthier.
i kind of go back and forth between eating too much (mostly insane amounts of candy...and barely any "real" food) and not eating enough...
but neither of those is HEALTHY...even though i can "manage" my weight with them.
wasn't this a good, healthy dinner???
we had some avocado's left from the super bowl guacamole...and i put 1/2 of one on top of my scrambled eggs! (that i don't make with cheese anymore...)
i know...i'm 33 years old and just now trying to learn how to eat healthy...
from Habakkuk 1 - verse 2 through 5...keep reading! verse 5 is the BEST!!! {i might add some of my own emphasis...}
Habakkuk’s Complaint
2 How long, LORD, must I call for help,but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
but you do not save?
3 Why do you make me look at injustice?
Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and conflict abounds.
4 Therefore the law is paralyzed,
and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
so that justice is perverted.
The LORD’s Answer
5 “Look at the nations and watch—and be utterly amazed.
For I am going to do something in your days
that you would not believe,
even if you were told!!!
{i can't WAIT for what He's going to do!}
from Romans 4 - talking about Abraham being 100 years old...and still waiting to be a father to many nations!
20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
Psalm 73:26
My flesh and my heart may fail,
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
but God is the strength of my heart
and my portion forever.
and these two are the LIGHT of my days...i LOVE my mornings with them!
their laughter and smiles and JOY are straight from Him..and i'm thankful.

I love the Bible verses today. I can't wait to see what HE is doing for you either! I am expectantly waiting to see HIS glory revealed when your adoption journey is brought full circle. I am praying for you my friend!
As for the dinner, it looks yummy but I am wondering where the rest of it was? Did you at least have a slice of toast with that?
Praying for you through this rough journey, keep up your strength, as someone who has struggled with depression (sleep, no sleep, eat, no eat, binge on everything from sleep to computer to books to tv) all seasons have an end, as you are seeking his comfort and he is working in your heart he will sustain you. Eating healthy comes at any age as long as you do it, I'm almost 40 something and there are plenty of days that I don't eat healthy and some that I don't do too bad....don't beat yourself up about it....you know that's the enemy trying to get you down. Tell him out...the Lord is my comforter.
