Thankful

How do I even begin to express our gratitude for the love that is being poured out for our daughter?









With every prayer, call, gift, talent used for His Kingdom, it's like a wave washing over my very soul. Restoring a hope that I did not realize had been so badly damaged along this broken road. Maybe one day I can get to a place of sharing the deep pain of the dark days of this wait, how I let the lies of the enemy shut me down. Then again, maybe none of that matters now...all that matters is there is a new horizon...He is creating new life in me as we prepare new life for our daughter.





Psalm 3

"O LORD, how my adversaries have increased!
Many are rising up against me.
Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no deliverance for him in God.”
Selah.


But You, O LORD, are a shield about me,
My glory, and the One who lifts my head.
I was crying to the LORD with my voice,
And He answered me from His holy mountain.
Selah.

I lay down and slept;
I awoke, for the LORD sustains me.
I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people
Who have set themselves against me round about.

Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God!
For You have smitten all my enemies on the cheek;
You have shattered the teeth of the wicked.
Salvation belongs to the LORD;
Your blessing be upon Your people!
Selah."




Thank you for standing shoulder to shoulder with us on this journey. For continuing to pray, donate and advocate until our daughter is home.
