Three posts in one day... WOW!
Within the next 36 hours our dossier should be submitted to our children's country. So much is riding on this. Please pray that we will be given to a worker whose heart is touched and who wants to help children get homes. Pray that we do not encounter any snags, it happens often it seems in this country. Our children have been waiting for a very long time for a family, please pray that we will find FAVOR with everyone who touches our file.
Emotionally I feel wrung out right now, we've pushed so hard and fast to get our paperwork done, the money raised and everything ready for them....now there is nothing we can do but wait! Please pray that once again the God of this Universe will have mercy on Sarah & Seth and fly us thru this process. He has been so faithful, I feel like one of the children of Israel right now... they saw God move and perform miracles then they doubted once again.....I don't doubt God I just don't have alot of trust in government workers (remember I was one for many years LOL- i was a good worker but I saw some doozies!!!)
So alot is hitting me tonight and I feel very down, overwhelmed and worried about this situation. There is so much ahead on this journey and I know it will not be an easy journey....I pray for strength and wisdom for us......I hate to fly, I hate to be away from home and I really hate to be on the other side of the world from one of my kids! The trip is long and not glamorous in anyway BUT it is the only way we can get our children.
Thank you for your prayers for all of us...soon to be the Clanton Seven!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
I pray that everything will go well!
ReplyDeletePraying for you friend!! We pray as a family for you guys and Seth and Sarah every night, and will pray all the harder!! ♥
ReplyDeleteI remember the waiting ... as humans waiting is SO HARD! One of the verses we were studying this week for Bible study was in Luke when Jesus says "who can add 1 day to his life by worrying?" Once everything was done and out of our hands, then we felt peace because we knew that we had done our part and all that was left was GOD's part! We could relax knowing that we had done what HE asked of us and now it was His turn to show off His great and mighty works!
ReplyDeleteWow -- you are getting there fast! So excited for you!
