God is in Control

Several months ago God gave both Adam and I a song that has continued to strengthen and encourage us during the early stages of this adoption. I have listened to this song so many times that I know it by heart, but that hasn't stopped the Lord from revealing something new to me, through this song, when I need it most.
The recent fighting between Russia and Georgia has caused us a little bit of stress and last night I even lost a bit of sleep over it. Perhaps I lost sleep because I was up way too late reading news headlines, prophecy updates and transcripts from the Glenn Beck show. I am sure you are probably thinking, wow...weird! However, they all bring to light a very good point and that is the significance of Russia invading Georgia. While I am truly concerned for the citizens of Georgia, I must admit that my motives for my concern over this invasion are much more selfish than that.
So there I was last night tossing and turning and wondering how this will affect our adoption, when I finally prayed that God would give me peace. After all, there was not much I could do about it at 1:00 a.m. This morning, before the rest of my family was awake, I quietly played our "adoption" song and really listened to the words. The song is called I'll Lead You Home, by Michael W. Smith.
I know it can be hard to get the full effect from just reading these words. As with great moments in life, things seem so much better when put to music. I will make an attempt anyway. Here is what I heard;
Let it go and turn it over to
The One who chose to give His life for you
Leave it to Me
I'll lead you home
This was my much needed encouragement today! Regardless of what is happening around the world, God, the maker of heaven and earth, is still in control, and I need to give it over to him. If He is calling us to adopt our daughter from Russia, then by all means, He will provide a way for us to go to Russia.
How is that for lovingly saying "stop it!"

Please pray that things will go quickly and smoothly for us. With tensions growing in that whole area of the world, we would like to get in and out of Russia as soon as possible.
