God's riches, wisdom, and knowledge are so deep that it is impossible to explain his decisions or to understand his ways. -Romans 11:33 (GWT)
Strange happenings are stirring about. Two months ago, I expressed my concern for this precious girl often pictured with you, wondering aloud if she had a family waiting for her. I couldn't put my finger on exactly what it was about her in particular that tugged at my heart, but the tug was specifically tied to this one friend and utterly undeniable. Dad and I discussed the possibility that maybe our Lord was nudging us to consider bringing her home as well--just how cool would it be for you both to discover that your sisterhood was no longer coming to an end, but instead would be guaranteed for life?! I mean, wow! ...Our agency did suggest, after all, that we go ahead and request the adoption of two children just in case…. We would take your whole house with us if God was behind it!
We sort of left the idea to simmer, as we've been so consumed with the process regardless. But just a few weeks ago, you pointedly asked Dad if we, or someone in Texas, would host this special friend of yours. Having no idea of the conversations we had been having already, your question definitely re-opened the need to more intentionally seek God and His will about all of this. It is apparent that she is important to you, Sweet girl <3 And that has already heightened our awareness of her.
Proverbs 20:24 (HCSB) clearly tells us that, "A man's steps are directed by the LORD; how then can anyone understand his own way?" Just when we think we have everything figured out, He throws in more surprises to keep us on our toes! With Him guiding the tour, we're experiencing plenty of adventure--I can't wait to see what's around this bend!!
Love you,
Mom
