Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them."
Many families pray for us and other's when in small groups or churches. And the Lord hears us when we pray solo too.
Sometimes I wonder how much faith I have?
I know that together our faith adds up to more.
This week a couple blogs encouraged me. Both from large families who moved outside their comfort zones and adopted lots of children including those with special needs.
One reminded me that the Lord continues to work on our behalf even when we cannot see movement or progress.
He remains faithful. He is moving.
Praying earnestly for the mountains blocking the referral process and other steps in the Haiti adoption process to crumble into the sea so that children can be placed in loving families.
Praying that the delays mean that once the process starts up again it will move faster and smoother than in the past.
Even if we still wait for our referral would be hopeful to see other families getting referrals and moving though the system.
Prayer Requests
- Movement in referrals and other steps in the process
- IBESR staff to work hard, stay healthy, be careful/efficient and have all the resources they need to complete their work well
- That our chart and the kid's charts do not get lost or have mistakes in them
- That our US agency finds the perfect person to be the International Adoption Coordinator
- That the creche our children are at will allow Eli and Anna to come on the bonding trip
- That the creche has all the staff and resources needed to take care of the children well so that they can thrive during the wait.
- That the trip would work with our ministry schedule without delays
- For the Lord's will and timing.
- To defeat any of the Devil's plans for delays or derailments
- Patience, hope, faith and gratitude during the process.
I just found your adoption blog and remember those days of waiting during out adoption from Haiti. There were so many moments that I was discouraged and would go out for a run/walk and just play the song "Mighty to Save" over and over. He is powerful and I pray you see the movement in your journey that can only come through His might.
