Strength for a Weary Heart

I cannot tell you how my heart has been in anguish over this adoption lately. I long for the Lord to reveal Eden to us; or to even give us direction on how to proceed with this process. Just when I needed Him to, He showed up! Read these words that sunk deep into my weary heart, "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not loose heart." (Galatians 6:9). That was just the encouragement that my heart needed today. I will not loose heart!

A Child's Prayer

Mary Grace's prayer tonight, "Thank you Lord for providing Eden, and let her come soon." We should all take lessons from our children. My 10 year old prayed not asking, but thanking and believing that the God of the universe will meet the desire of her heart!

Wait Upon the Lord

Psalm 26:14 says, "Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!" Waiting seems to be where we are stuck right now. We are waiting for Lord to point us in the right direction and for Him to provide what is needed in order to make our calling to adopt possible. For now, we will wait on the Lord, and He alone shall strengthen our hearts.
