Correction

You most likely won't notice, and if you're new then you definitely won't notice, but I went back and edited some information out of my posts. In a couple of posts I had included information from email updates our caseworker sends. It was all paraphrased, but nonetheless it was still from those emails. Anyway, AGCI (our agency) has asked that we do not share any of that information on our blogs. I feel horrible that I may have inadvertently shared something that I shouldn't have no matter how innocent the intention. So out of respect for AGCI and Bulgaria, during my lunch break, I quickly removed anything from those emails.

I shared all this not so much because I needed to, because like I said most likely no one would've noticed, but because just last night I read a devotional about correction. I hated being corrected. I always have. Even when the correction is for an action that was not purposefully wrong, I immediately go on the defensive. I want to explain why I did what I did and justify my actions. I want to do everything right the first time. But I'm human and being human, I make mistakes rather often. This is one area where I know God is dealing with me. I am not always right, and I need to learn to admit that. Wow! That's not easy to say. But maybe it will get easier with time . . .

Not to worry, I will continue to regale you with tales of our exciting life and adventures in adoption, but I will use more discretion in the future. Yes, I know you can hardly contain your excitement.

Proverbs 13:18 (New King James Version)

¹⁸ Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction,
      But he who regards a rebuke will be honored.
