The Lord's plan is not always easy, but it is always right!

Today finally came...
Joel and I began our morning out to breakfast.  We had so much fun being together, laughing and sharing our hearts.
When we got home, Joel showed me the most amazing video that he had just received in an email... With tears running down my face I was reminded of exactly why we are doing what we are doing and that every bit of this word "waiting" that is so challenging is WORTH IT.  We are where we are because of you Sweet Jesus.  Every one of these precious children belong to you... 

Here is the link to the video if you have about 8 minutes to see a church making a difference.

 As we left I whispered to the Lord, "May our home be used to make a difference"

In the afternoon we had our meeting with M's social worker and county worker.  What an interesting place to be sharing about yourself and your family as they quietly listen, take notes and highlight what's been said.  We have met with numerous people this past year and answered hundreds of questions about our family, but nothing compared to this experience. The best part was we were given a beautiful opportunity to share our faith with these ladies and to give God the glory for the work He is doing in our family.  It was awesome!  We were also able to receive quite a bit more information on sweet "M" and ask a lot of questions. 

However, the wait continues... 

During the past week two possible relatives have come forth with an interest for "M", so they will assess them first. Then after all assessments, meeting with us and meeting with the other family they will make their decision.  They estimated that they will get back to us in about 3 weeks.  Joel and I left the meeting with great peace.  We felt everyone's prayers! 

The Lord's plan is not ALWAYS EASY, but it is ALWAYS RIGHT!  He has called us to adopt and He will be faithful to carry us through. We continue on our journey knowing He is in complete control...
