These past few weeks have brought lots of exciting adoption news!! In the past 2 weeks alone there have been 9 referrals with our agency! Praise God for that! That means 9 more precious children have been matched with their forever families! It's also very exciting because there haven't been that many referrals in so short amount of time since before the slow down last year. And there were 3 more referrals the few weeks before that, so overall 12 referrals in the past month and a half, so so exciting!! Our agency has also started to partner with a new orphanage, which we hope will be bringing in lots more children! All of this has filled us with renewed hope, hope that our Father will indeed finish what he started, and hope in His love for these children. As much as we love our yet to be known son or daughter, our Father loves him or her so much more, and he know him intimately. He knows their innermost being, and knit them together in the womb. There is such amazing peace in that. There will be times that I will have major mommy fails, but I can rest in the fact that my Father never fails. This chorus has been ringing in my head a lot lately:
"I may be weak, but you're spirit's strong in me.
My flesh may fail, but my God you never will.
Give me faith, to trust what you say,
that you're good, and your love is great."
I am so thankful for the love of my Father.
We also are in the final stages of our home study being updated. We met with our social worker last week so we are just waiting for it to be written and then approved by our agency, which will hopefully happen in the next week or so. We got our state background checks back in a record amount of time which was all we had left to get, so they have everything they need! And after all this movement, we are seriously excited about our July numbers! We are getting there precious one!!
