One of the gals that went on the mission's trip to our orphanage with my friend put together a great video! It had me in tears by the end and not just because Lilibeth blew me a kiss!

You, O Lord, are a God merciful and
gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
Psalm 86:15

Although I've alluded to the heartache that we've been experiencing these last several weeks, I'm realizing that it is not clear that we are no longer expecting Lilibeth and Eddie to come to our home. Please understand that this is incredibly heartbreaking for us, and we are struggling with how to tell our story. Thank you for all your prayers. We would still be very helped by your prayers for us and for Lilibeth and Eddie right now.

Adopting will almost certainly bring heartache and stress and suffering, just like adoption cost God the life of his Son.
We are adopted “through Jesus Christ”—through his suffering. I have letters from parents in my files describing the agony of adoptions that didn’t work or almost didn’t work. . . The implication is this: we adopt with our eyes wide open. This will bring pain. And this may bring tragedy. We embraced it. And, if we are faithful, in the end, it will certainly bring joy.

Good reading and listening
For this child I prayed, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. -1 Samuel 1:27
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; and the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks it will be opened. -Matthew 7:7-8

Abundant Blessings
God has truly given us abundant blessings! He has answered so many of our prayers and has blessed us beyond what we could have hoped or even imagined!
The grace of God is sufficient for every new day no matter how difficult. . . There is more true joy in walking with God through fire, than walking on beaches without him.

Lilibeth and Eddie,
The Lord watches over you- the Lord is your shade at your right hand; the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm- he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. Psalm 121:58
Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. - Proverbs 25:25
