Last step drags on

I am needing to lean in to God so much more these last few days. Sometimes everything seems wrong and bad and I sense Spiritual attack to me and my family. I know God will be there when we draw near to Him.

The last step in getting our African children home is the exit passes. They have been putting us off every day for weeks. This morning they told us that the first family is being allowed to go pick up their daughter in Liberia. At that time they said they will review our case and let us know something. That is not happening until May 10th. We'll see if they are actually allowed to leave with their child.
If I were asked adoption advice at this time I would recommend private adoption only. There are babies in every hospital across America that are left to die, suffering with lack of food and water until they do. Christians for the most part are unaware of them as they go about their self centered lives. How can we love the least of these if we don't know they are even there. I didn't know this were happening until a year or so ago. You can find out about that in my past blogs.

I hope that my family and I can minister to these babies some day soon. My heart swells with love and longing for them. I know my life purpose is to care for children in a way that is different than most can. When I think about this, I love my endless tasks of laundry and cooking and child care etc. I love my life.

I love you. The waiting is the hardest part. In His time He'll make all things...even this pain...beautiful.
