Getting through the fog...

Setbacks are a part of life right?!  But definately not a good part! We recieved an email this week from our website consultant saying she recieved the photos and after the department reviewed them they still needed more. We sent them 76 photos and only 3-4 worked?! It was the most frustrating part of this journey so far. We took an evening aside to take as many pictures as possible and now that time was wasted. It was one of those times where it felt like hitting a fog (one so thick you can't see anything and want to just stop and wait). But instead of stopping we pressed on.... another photoshoot. We called our friend Andrew Hanes and asked him to come over to use our new Cannon Powershot. We took pictures around our house, then took a few pictures throughout the weekend of us doing a variety of things. The photos turned out awesome - hopefully the adoption agency will think so too!
Today's devotional was called Moving through the fog... about moving through lifes setbacks and disappointments. So the verse of my day is going to be.... " I can do all things through Christ who stengthens me." Phillipians 4:13. We will get through this setback and God is preparing our beautiful baby to come home to us when it is time!
Here are some of our favorite pictures from the photoshoot....
