Dear Deborah,
God's timing is perfect and He’s never late!
It's hard to not feel cheated of precious time with our child, but we love and trust the Lord.
2 Corinthians 1:20-22 (The Message) Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God's Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.
His promises are never late. God never gives us a vision without giving us the means to complete the journey.It’s during the stretching of your faith, that real growth takes place.
I had a patient with a dental abscess and in a great deal of pain. I minister God's love as much as possible to each patient. I made the comment that when I’m anxious about something, I remind myself that a merry heart and laughter doeth good like medicine.
She said to me, "Oh, you’re a believer?"
"Yes!"
What happened next could only be God at work!
As she was breathing in the nitrous gas, she sat up in the chair, looked me in the eye and said,
"The Lord wants you to know, He has heard your cries."
Now, we have confirmation from God and we're sure of His direction for our lives.
We're encouraged, jazzed and ready to go forward with our next adoption!
Oh, we love you Lord!
We trust you Lord!
