Yesterday made it 2 years of this exhausting journey we started called adoption. Yes, exhausting.... I am exhausted. The selfish part of me wants our girls here now. I want to hug them. I want to kiss them. I want to feed them. I want to take care of them. I want to hear their little voices while I go about my day. I'm clinging to God these days with white knuckles & not loosening my grip. He's the only One getting me through this. I knew at the beginning of this it wasn't going to be easy, but I never imagined 2 years after beginning all this that we wouldn't even know what our girls looked like. I have faith that in this time of waiting, God is preparing them, preparing our boys, preparing Josh & I, preparing our family for what is to come. I have no doubt that God will bring them to us soon. I have no doubt that God will give me strength to get through this waiting period. I have no doubt that I will soon have our little girls wrapped in my arms...... I'm asking for extra prayer from whoever is praying for us. This time of waiting is, well truthfully, heartbreakingly difficult for me. I'm clinging to His promises:
Eph 3:14-16 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being
Ps 37:4-5 Delight yourself in the Lord & He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him & He will act
Matt 7:11 "If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!"
Isaiah 30:18 Therefore the Lord is waiting to show you mercy, and is rising up to show you compassion, for the Lord is a just God. Happy are all who wait patiently for Him.
Jer 29:12-13 Then you will call upon me & come & pray to me & I will hear you. You will seek me & find me. When you seek me with all your heart.
Please flood Him with prayers that He'll bring our girls to us soon!!!
Thank you so much for all your support & prayers.
