Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
I am a firm believer that everything that happens in our "LIVES" happened for a reason. As a Christian, I have learned that what occurred in 1980, When I was going through my "CRISIS PREGNANCY" When I thought the world had come to a end. It was GOD miraculously working in the better of two lives. Mine and my unborn "Precious" as I called her. See he (God) was drawing me out of my depression over a failed marriage, God was drawing me near unto him. For at that time of my "LIFE" you find out how many few friends you truly have. As I watched friends move on leaving me behind in seclusion of one of the hardest times of my "LIFE". I found solice and comfort in God's promises and true words.
Deuteronomy 31:6
New International Version (NIV)
6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” I now live my life by that scripture. I fear nobody, nothing. For MY God is with me, My God lives inside of ME. He is my strength when I feel weak HE IS EVERY SO STRONG.
When I was making the decision to place my "PRECIOUS" unborn girl with a Mother and Father and family. I felt God leading me to do what my heart didn't want to do. That's where the scripture of TRUST comes in. The scripture -
Proverbs 3:5-7
New International Version (NIV)
5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the Lord and shun evil.
fear the Lord and shun evil.
When I felt over whelmed with WORRY-
Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Luke 12:25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you;my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you.Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
Worry Bible Verses- All About Peace

2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Worry Verses Say Do Not Fear
Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.Isaiah 43:1-3 But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you.
Hebrews 13:6 So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?”

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
I hope if you are reading my Blog an have placed a baby or child for adoption. That you can know that you are not ALONE that God to lost his only begotten son to sacrifice. He gave his son's LIFE for our SINS. The attonement was done for You and I. So that we as believers someday will live eternal life with the KING. As Birth Mothers we all have a sisterhood so to speak. We all know the deep pain of LOSS and grief that follows placement. For some of us this loss never seems to go away. It feels to some of us like a wound that seems so raw that never will HEAL. Yet this is not what God wants for us. He wants us to TRUST HIM. A trust of FAITH so strong that we can put all the pain on him. HE is way bigger than any of our life circumstance that we shall endeavor. We've got to Let go and Let God do his work everyday in our "LIVES".
