Strength

As we drove home from church yesterday, I started feeling nauseous with the start of the week. Will this be the week we get our email? Will we wait longer? Only God knows. I am trying really hard to have complete trust and peace, but sometimes it isn't easy. I woke this morning and read my Jesus Calling book. God's words brought peace yet again.

Isaiah 41:10 - fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Peace again. A reminder that He will sustain us. He will deliver us soon. In the meantime, will you join us in prayer as we wait to be reunited with our beautiful children? Will you pray with us as many adoptive families across the world are waiting? And pray for the children waiting for a family. We are the Church and the Church is God's plan for the orphan. Let's step up and do something. Let's take that step of faith and love a child with no family. This doesn't have to be adoption, but it should be something.
