Last night..
Last night, Chris and I were on a conference call with other families adopting from Haiti and our new adoption agency. There were some good things – like getting to hear the heart ache and laments of families just like ours – who have lost all the progress they have made. It reminded us that we are not alone. We got to hear that Haiti is adopting a child a day – which is much faster than they have in the past.We were reaffirmed that the new adoption agency is the right one for us, and that working with them will mean our son comes home – eventually.
But there were a lot of hard things, a lot of heartbreaking thing on the conference call last night. One of them is that we might have to almost completely start everything over, paperwork included. That even if we got matched today – there would be no way for us to bring our son home. That this journey is going to take far longer than we had ever imagined we started.
So after a restless night last night, I got to talk to my Mama- Who spoke God's words to me. Prayed for us. She reminded me that every step of the way we are not alone, the ways of this world are never easy, but that if God is for us – who could ever be against?
This is hard. But God never promises that because it is Holy, it won't be hard.
God does promise that the worst thing is never the last thing. Our God is in the business of Resurrection.
I don't know what darkness you are facing right now, what hopelessness you are facing right now. Know that you are not alone…
