Psalm 146: 1-2
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord, O my soul.
I will praise the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Psalm 145: 16
(to God)
You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving toward all he has made. The Lord is near to all who call on him to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who hear him...
Yesterday, I took our son to the dentist. As the dentist asked me questions about when our son's teeth came in and how many he had in his infancy, I couldn't help but allow some sorrow to creep in. It was another reminder that I will not know those details about Jonah's life. Every month that goes by, every day that passes, allows for more details of his life that we miss. I am comforted by the reality that GOD CALLED US TO THIS ADOPTION!!!! We are an adoptive family! God's plans are beyond my understanding.
I am comforted by these verses today as I try not to think about how old Jonah is this month (20 months old). Drew and I were just talking this morning that we truly thought we'd have him home at 18 months old.
BUT.... I will sing praises to God regardless of what happens in the Korean family court system, even if we don't get our court date this week, even if we don't get to bring Jonah home until he is two years old. I will praise God because HE is worthy of all my praise and he knows what is best for our family and for Jonah.
I continue to ask for prayers for this waiting period. I am strongly praying for a May court date. ...and for the ability to surrender the entire process to God's timing.
Thank you friends.
