Keep Up the Praying =)

I didn't sing with the choir at church this weekend because I had the opportunity to work. When I'm not singing with the choir, I like to go to the Sunday evening mass by myself. I like this mass! It is just very peaceful and I'm able to concentrate better. I'm usually one of the only people under say...30, but it's nice=)

The mass started and for some reason, my thoughts always seem to wonder to adoption when I have these quiet moments to myself. Things are so up in the air right now between Russia and the U.S. that I often still have doubts (I think my blog is beginning to sound like a broken record,*sigh* !! )= ). As I was sitting there, I thought to myself..."It would be great if I was given some sort of sign regarding this adoption." I know silly but hey, it's worth the thought for piece of mind. Well, the mass continues and then the priest begins the homily. He goes into detail about the reading from Exodus. Keep praying and don't stop. Just how the priest chose to say "With the power of prayer and perseverance, all things are possible." Loud and clear, I believe I got my sign. I believe that God has a way of teaching patience. If the Lord sees it fit and wants me to, he will make sure it happens. I just have to trust in the Lord. Maybe a little test in my faith?

Here are two lines from a couple of songs I heard the other day. I don't know the artist or title of either. =( They just spoke to me though.

"You've never lived until you live by faith, trust in fate"

"I wish I could see just three steps in front of me, but the lamp unto my feet does not move until I take a step."
