Adoption Adventure: God is Great

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.
You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.
You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Deuteronomy 6:5-9

Lena's (first) mission trip to
Haiti turned into our
Adoption Adventure!

Can't wait to see what God has in store next.....

God is Great

Posts I came across today.

Proof that there is good news.

God is great. All the time, no matter what.

But today, my eyes have been full of happy tears, and my heart is FULL of JOY.

Good News Post Number 1 A baby is born.

Good News Post Number 2 A child is returned to the Orphanage, so his adoption can proceed.

Good News Post #3 A child comes home!

Thank you, Lord for these gold nuggets.

Thank you for this evidence that good things do happen. That good things ARE happening.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I pray for each of these children, their birth families and their adoptive families. Lord, you know the needs, the hurts, the love. Please stay in the midst of it and let EVERYONE know you are intimately involved in the details. Please let these examples serve as encouragement and hope to all those in the midst of waiting or other unknown circumstances. Thank you for this, today, Lord. I needed it!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
