I do not want you to take offense to this in any way!!! I am only saying this because I went through something that made me not want to go to church either last year. But Satan wants to put bad thoughts and self pity into you heart, mind to stop going to church. I had to find that out the hard way. My DH showed me this. It was taking so long with our 1st adoption (Ithought, worse this 2nd adoption.) and people keep asking me and asking me Have we heard anything, what going on, this is taking soo long! I would get so depressed I tried to avoid eveyone i knew. I start feeling sorry for myself saying I can't go to church today because I don't wantpeople to ask me and make me think about it. But then one day DH said people do not know how to act or really what to say because we are the first to adopt in our church too. Then he said wouldn't you be even more upset if no one asked or even cared about this adoption. So then I sat down and thought really hard. YEAh ! He was right. I would be! Then he said Satan is just trying to get into your head right now because he doesn't want you going to church. Even more so to pray for this adoption and get everyone else aware of adoption. So then I told myself go and Pray and ask for prayer!! It started making feel sooo much better and helped our process too! Now I know this is nothing to do with your situation, but right now Satan does not want you going to church and especially praying. YOu may also touch another families heart toward adopting!!! But I will pray for you and that God may bring you a family too. You are already starting one!!! Good Luck. Please do not think I am judging you I am not!It just reminded me of me when I went through that last year. Adopting is from God not the Devil. THere are so many scriptures in the Bible about the Orphans and taking care of them I think the Devil just fights us tooth and nail over adoption.!
