Patience

"Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD." Psalm 27:14 (NLT)

This picture was made by Curtis when he was 4 years old. It is a picture of our house to Ethiopia. We have been praying for over a year and a half for our baby sister that we are hoping to adopt from Ethiopia. We read Psalm 27:14 at our family devotions one morning, and again I was reminded to be patient and trust in the LORD's timing. The author in the devotional wrote, "God will bless. God will help us. At the right time." I need to keep praying that I can fully trust in Him and in His perfect timing.

Adoption update:

One week from today, we as creditors will vote on the proposal that has been made regarding reconstructing the agency. If the majority vote yes, then the agency will be up and running again, the LORD willing, by October/November. Matches, or referrals probably will not begin to be made until the new year (which would mean more waiting)!! God has a plan, and I need to keep trusting in Him.
