A friend of mine and fellow pastor sent me an email to point out that I had crossed up my Bible stories in my update last night. For our church time we read through the story of
David and Goliath. Although Daniel also showed great faith in God as he prayed to the Lord even when the law said he could not pray. We read about David and his faith in God as he stood before the giant Goliath. Both of these men demonstrated great faith in God to keep His word and accomplish His plans, and they stood up for the Lord in the face of enormous trials. As we continue on this journey of adoption with a process that seems as clear as mud, it is comforting to know that our God knows each person and each step of the process, so as we take two steps forward and one step backward, we can trust in the Lord no matter what happens.
Here are some pictures from the weekend that I had trouble uploading last night:
I love this picture of Alicia with Alia. I am so blessed with a wonderful bride, who is a great mother to our four children.
This is the look Alia gave as she tried the cappuccino.
Ice cream in the park.
I didn't check in for a while! Love the updates keep'em coming! Can't help but read them with a smile on my face. Proud of you both for your faithfulness and determination, and just plain happy for you as you take these final steps in the adoption process! -Ernie
