Sown in My Heart: The Journey

Nov 3, 2009

The Journey

I am working on your behalf. Bring me all your concerns, including your dreams.

Talk with me about everything, letting the Light of My Presence shine on your hopes and plans.

Spend time allowing My Light to infuse your dreams with life, gradually transforming them into reality.

This is a very practical way of collaborating with Me. I, the Creator of the universe, will work with you. Do not hurry this process.

If you want to work with Me, you have to accept My time frame. Hurry is not in My nature.

Abraham and Sarah had to wait many years for the fulfillment of My promise, a son. How their long wait intensified their enjoyment of this child!

-Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, perceiving as a real fact what is not revealed to the senses.

As we travel on our adoption journey, it's not about us or our timing.

It's all about how He will be glorified.

The circumstances, the ways, and the time He chooses to grow our families, can be very different from what we imagined.

But what joy we feel when we get to hold our child!

It's worth every tear, every heart ache, and every minute of waiting.

How much more intensified our parenting journey has become!

Beautifully spoken! We are like you, all about God's perfect timing...while at the same time, making known to Him the desires of our hearts. God is faithful and He will see us through!! <><

Lovely post - and if I might bring some Witness to His actions in the midst of our mundane lives...We very much wanted as many of our kids as possible to travel with us - a full family journey if we could. To make that happen we needed to travel over the school break at Christmas. Late yesterday we recieved word that the CCAA turned around our LOSC (formerly LOA) in 43 days! While not for certain, travel over the Christmas Holiday is looking very possible. He ALWAYS provides to His faithful!

hugs -

Faith

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
~Hebrews 10:24

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
~James 1:27

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
~Psalm 91:1-2

Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence radiate like the dawn,and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
Be still in the presence of the Lord,and wait patiently for him to act.
~Psalm 37:5-7

So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. ~Hebrews 10:32-36

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
~Hebrews 11:1

For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper not harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.
~Jeremiah 29:11

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones.
~Proverbs 3:5-8

For this child I have prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked.
~1 Samuel 1:27

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
~1 Peter 5:6-7

A FATHER to the FATHERLESS and protector of widows is God in His holy dwelling. God places the LONELY IN FAMILIES and gives the desolate A HOME in which to dwell
Ps 68:5-6

I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
~John 15:5

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
~Phil 4:13
