We have been wading through a few situations and praying over specifics and even presented on a couple of the situations over the recent weeks; we have been overwhelmed by the emotions, logistics, waiting, and reality that comes with all of this and our faith has begun to feel much like a rubber band at its max capacity.
Nevertheless, we sit here tonight and ask that you would pray for our family. Just today we have been presented with what seems to be a situation we can't walk away from. It is not the original planned route we thought we'd take however it feels like the Lord has cracked this door open, and we have until 8 am our time in the morning to decide if we want to present on this situation.
Our hearts are beating rapidly out of our chests, however the Lord has given us much peace and rest in possibly moving forward. If we are chosen by the birth mother as the parents of this precious little one, her due date is next Friday, November 1st. It is more money that we currently have, it is far away, it is not with our original consultant, it is none of the things we thought it would or even should be. However, God has been showing us over the recent months how big He is and how great and mighty His works really are. We have witnessed him provide our family with $27,500 in 17 weeks for this adoption and obviously if He has called us to this particular child, He's not quite done with that part.
We are ready and willing to act on what we feel like He is opening the door to, and apart from His closing the door we will enter through it tomorrow and wait on the Lord to do what He wants to. Please pray that we will trust God and that we will not move apart from His guidance and direction. Please pray for this birth mother as she is about to make the hardest decision of her life. Pray for all that are involved in the process of assisting her.
We wouldn't normally post this information so prematurely, but we desire MUCH prayer and trust that after reading this you will commit to doing that on our behalf. Thank you for bearing our burden and holding the rope for our family!
To God Be the Glory!
The Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure, buried in a field, that a man found and reburied. Then in his joy he goes and sells everything he has and buys that field. Matthew 13:44
Doing things that have eternal weight sometimes change our view of what treasure really is.
