Once again we find ourselves humbly amazed with God's confirmation and presence in our lives. Today we found out that we were approved as ISSJ's prospective adoptive parents! WOW! Praise the Lord! Now, we wait...
I can not explain the heaviness I have for our child(ren). I feel their need for me so powerfully. I am sure it is my motherly instinct. I think about them all day. I am reminded today of God's love for us. How delighted he must be when we come home to him. We may be born fatherless but God is here to adopt us. To give us life, love and a family. Recently I read "Choosing to See" by Mary Beth Chapman and she describes how God spoke to her about his love for orphans as she was struggling to understand how she could love a child that wasn't hers. Here is what God revealed to her,
"Mary Beth, you thickheaded woman, do you not understand now that this is the very way I see you? You are this orphan! I adopted you and you are MINE! I bought you for a price! Do you see how you love this baby? That's just a faint reflection of how much I love you! You didn't have a name, and I gave you a name. You did nothing to deserve my love, and I love you anyway. You had no hope, no future, and now you are the daughter of a King! "
We are delighted that we are one step closer. Continue to pray for us as we wait and that a child will be placed soon!
