Knowing that God is faithful.

Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. Deut. 7:9

I just love it when God speak to me and I feel His peace around me.

About three months ago we had just started seriously considering adopting Jaidyn. All I could see were the roadblocks and hurdles and redtape. The impossibility and improbability of a third...(THIRD!!???!!!)...adoption from China. THIRD? I thought that I must be crazy and loosing my mind to even think about another child in our home. Afterall...one more equals SEVEN children after Ivy(our exchange student) leaves. So I kept praying and feeling that God meant for us to be her forever family. So I kept praying for the doors to open if we were her family or to close if we were not meant to be her family. Then...I started reading more blogs about adoption and almost every blog that I found was about a family that already had 6, 7, 8, or 9 or more children and were adding another child through adoption. Amazing. Most of the things that I found and read were actually things that I was struggling with or thinking about having a large family. But...reading these blogs made me feel that God was telling me that it was possible and probable when I let Him lead and direct us. When I followed Him...He would work the details out. When I stepped out in faith, He would show up...And guess what?? All the roadblocks that I thought were in our way to adopt Jaidyn have just been absolutely non-issues whatsoever. All the worry was pointless because they have not been roadblocks at all. We are on our way to bring this precious girl home and I am excited about it. I am looking forward to the journey and to how God will answer all our needs for this adoption to happen. I have already seen some answers...We are in the paper-chase stage right now. A few months ago i thought that the door was going to slam shut and there would not be any PA or paper-chase. Here we are...gathering docs, going to our medical appointment, and getting our local fingerprints done. I am so thankful for the answered prayers!
