Waiting... He is faithful

The following is a song by Chris Tomlin.  God used it to speak to my heart today.
Yes, He is forever faithful to all He has called each of us to do.
He loves our little girl and holds her until we can.
He is full of grace and mercy.
I certainly am reminded of that daily.
I am so undeserving of the blessed life I lead and blessed to be called to adoption by Him!
I have certainly had the wounded heart and the fragile soul and He lifts me up and holds me together.


I really don't like waiting.  Some days I have such a peace about getting Lizzie and other days - like today - I just ache to hold her, to touch her cheek to mine, to have her sit in my lap while I read, to even push her in a Target buggy :).
I don't know why it is taking so long.  I don't know why He told us - Hungary - but I do know that He did.
I do know that He whispered in my heart last year - about this time - as I asked Him -"Why the urgency?"  "She is waiting."
And I believe Him! He is faithful and true to His promises!  As we wait, I will believe Him to be the faithful God He has proven himself to be over and over and over again!


Faithful, forever You are faithful
Father to the fatherless
You uphold the one who feels forsaken
You are faithful, God

Faithful, forever You are faithful
Lover of the wounded heart
You defend the poor and the forgotten
You are faithful, God

And I will sing to the maker of Heaven and Earth
God, You reign forever and Your love will endure
Faithful and true is the name of the Lord
You are faithful, God

Faithful, forever You are faithful
Shelter for the fragile soul
You lift us up, You hold us all together
You are faithful, God

You are there in every season of my soul
You are there, You're the anchor that will hold
You are there, in the valley of the shadows
You are faithful, God
