We have received a referral for our precious daughter. We are thankful and excited and humbled by God's goodness and grace. She is 5 years old and will turn 6 on Friday, December 2. She has dark blonde curls and brown eyes and is so precious. We are falling more and more in love with her as we stare at her picture!
She had a rough start in life, weighing only a pound and a half. She is definitely a miracle!
We hope to go get her the end of January!
God has clearly directed this journey in our lives and there is nothing I would change. (Ok - maybe the fingerprint issue - but there were lessons to learn there as well!)
It hasn't been easy and takes so much faith. I have been stretched beyond where I thought I could stretch, and I know the journey is only just beginning. Walking by faith is scary. This really has been like walking through a dark forest with only a flash light in front of me- step by step and trusting God.
God's word has become such a comfort to me and I truly crave it now and have a hunger to know Him more each day.
I am so thankful for my husband whose faith is so BIG! Where I doubt, he is confident. Where I fear, he is fearless.
I love that God - and only God- can help us love more deeply as He molds and shapes us. Walking through this process of faith and prayer as a family has already been an amazing blessing! I can't imagine all God has in store for us when we become a family of 5!
Ephesians 3:20-21
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory.... forever and ever! Amen.
You are so right...adoption changes and grows our faith and I wouldn't trade it for anything...SO happy you got her picture and referral...God is GOOD:)
