I'm beginning to feel like a broken record. I feel compelled to update the blog even if nothing new has happened... so no one thinks we just feel off the earth. There have been some major changes to the Ethiopian adoption program and we are affected. You can read about it here. In brief, our referral time is the same. Our court date wait will be longer (no one knows for sure how long) as cases will drop from 50/week to 5/week. This will affect our paperwork (more cost/more time). In the end, what can we do?? Wait and pray. See... broken record. However...
"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father..." Romans 4:18a
"but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:31
"For this child I have prayed and God has granted me what I asked of Him." I Samuel 1:27
"And the Lord answered me: 'Write the vision... For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end - it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." Habakkuk 2:2-3
In God's very sweet mercy to me, I woke up this morning with a song in my head. A dear friend gave my children a cd of scripture put to music many years ago and we LOVE it. This is what I heard in my head before my feet hit the floor today:
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Provers 3:5-6
