(As Solomon said)"But your hearts must be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time." 1Kings 8:61
Commitment. Something that we should never take lightly. Whether it be something as huge as marriage or as small as promising to paint your child's fingernails:). To commit to something is to be 100% in. To give yourself completely, and I pray I never commit to anything half way. I realize that I sometimes fail at this. There is now a commitment to be made, and we will NOT do it without making sure we are ready. Once we commit, we will never let go.
As much as I want to share with each and everyone of you where we are in our adoption journey right now, I just can't. But PLEASE believe me when I tell you that God has His hands all over this process. I see Him time and time again, and I'm always left speechless. From the small whispers that come from the mouths of others to the loud shouts I hear in my prayers, God is speaking.
Please, continue your prayers for our family- that we follow Him and our lives are for His glory.
Amazed by HIS grace,
E

This post gave me chills. I am so blessed to have you in my life now. Even though we have never actually met, you ahve made such an impact on my life. The way you seak out the Lord and actually listen to Him is just amazing to me. I know you are listening carefully now, and I know that when you guys make your decision, it will be the right one. You are in my prayers, and I can't wait to see where the Lord guides you!
Can't WAIT to see how God is moving in your lives. SPILL THE BEANS LOL!
Thank you for such a beautiful reminder to always let my yes be yes!
PRAYING!!!!
Commitment, the strength to be all God has asked us to be. Reading your words, I simply see a clay jar. Our Lord is pouring into you and He is spilling into the lives of others from your life. The decision you make will bring Him glory.
A wonderful reminder about committment, and also exciting about your adoption possiblities. Can't wait to hear more!
A friend of mine who is instrumental in worldwide orphan ministry once told me that we need to seek God's Will for each child. When we leave our children with family or friends to "babysit" them, we give specific instructions (i.e this child is allergic to meat, that child must have herbs or medications at 8pm...). God's children (we were specifically talking about the fatherless) are to be treated with the same "personal attention to detail"...each one is created with a specific design and purpose, and we are to seek His Will for each child...only God knows exactly what they need. And THAT is what I see in your post...you are seeking His Will for a specific child (or children), and I imagine that He is very pleased...and He WILL show you. God bless you!!
