We Are Overwhelmed

I will go before you and make the
rough places smooth:
I will shatter the doors of bronze,
and cut through their iron bars.
And I will give you the treasures of darkness,
and hidden wealth of secret places,
in order that you may know that it is I,
the LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.

Isaiah 45:2-3

This is the scripture that Lord gave us back in August concerning our adoption. I am so happy to say that He truly has given us the hidden wealth of secret places!! We are overwhelmed by God's grace and favor upon our lives and this adoption. Because of a grant from Show Hope we now have everything that we need financially to pick our son up!! WOW! From the beginning we said that this had to be a story where God is very big and we are very small. That is exactly what has happened. This adoption has the fingerprints of God all over it from beginning to end! What a great story we have to share with our son about God being intimately involved in every detail of his story. As I spent last night rereading my blog post I am once again humbled by God's provision for us. I have asked for ears to hear and eyes to see and I am so thankful that He has answered those prayers. So if any of you are considering adoption but don't know how you can pay for it, BELIEVE BIG!! God loves these orphans far more than any of us do and He is in the business of placing the lonely in families! Step out and watch Him provide. We also are so thankful to our friends and family who have joined us on this journey and supported us both financially, emotionally and spiritually. Thanks for being sensitive to the Lord. You have made a difference in an orphans life and there will be eternal rewards for that! We have desired to continue to sow the seeds of adoption into our families that are moving forward with the process. For that reason, we are passing on the remaining cookbooks to another couple who is just beginning their journey. I still have some left so if you would like one, please know that the proceeds go to another family who we are honored to help get started:)

Please continue to pray for our court date on the 8th of February. Please pray that God's hand would be on every detail of this next step. Please continue to lift up our little guy. Pray that he would be protected and comforted. Thanks again!
