Starting at Step One Again?

It has been a tumultuous 2 weeks in our lives. Soon after we confirmed with our adoption agency that we wanted to adopt from Haiti and had them send us the contract to sign Eric started having serious reservations about the adoption. I thought that the reality of signing the contract had given him cold feet, but it turns out he was hearing God much more clearly than I was! We prayed and talked and prayed some more. And even though I had been certain at the beginning that we were supposed to be adopting from Haiti I too started to have doubts.

We finally did what we should have done at the beginning and sought wise counsel and what we discovered made us realize why God had put those doubts in our minds. Thankfully we listened to what He was saying, because I believe that it prevented us from being in a very difficult situation. The end result of the last 2 weeks of confusion and prayer? We are right back where we started (almost). We still don't know where we are supposed to be adopting from.

Please pray with us that God would clearly reveal his plan for our adoption. We believe that we have an idea where he is leading, but we thought that about Haiti too :-/ so please join us in prayer that His will would be so obvious that even WE can understand!
