With all the needs of children for a loving home, only God could have known how long. Does he “get it”? Yes. Is he working? Yes! One day we will see his plans come to fruition and say “of course”! I have loved the Lamentations passage for a long time…He is my portion, I will wait. And I’m looking forward to the joy we will all share when your daughter comes home.

Reminds me of some things I pulled from a video I watched of John Orberg at Granite Bay:
Romans 12:2… be transformed by the renewing of your mind…

“Prayer is not engineered, it’s you and God together.”

“We need to exercise our capacity to focus, un-aided! In our day, we rely on external stimulations to occupy our minds.”

“Solitude begins the cultivation of our minds to transform and renew it to be closer to God!”

“Solitude is the place where you begin, to find out about your mind.”

“Boredom is a fundamental necessity for the growth of your spiritual mind!”

It is a blessing for all of us to be on this journey with you, to see your heart, and be remind that we too have a journey with the Lord. He calls each one of us into seasons of action, but mostly He asks us to take these small faith steps and wait for His power to move in our lives. To God be the glory!
