It has been a long time since we last blogged. But that doesn't necessarily mean nothing has happened. A lot has happened in our hearts. God has been at work in us, refining us to be all that He desires us to be. You know, we pray all the time for the Lord to mold us into the Godly people He wants to use and that we will be able to effectively lead our children to Him through Godly character and training in our home. I don't know why we are surprised when He actually does take a chisel to our hearts and re-mold them. It is a painful process. At this stage I can clearly see how He took Baby G and brought us to the place of total surrender. We thought we were there until we dealt with that loss. Isaiah 26:3 was so instrumental in our wait between Baby G and Baby M. "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." And also the story of Abraham putting Issac on the altar and trusting the Lord in Genesis 22 was huge in preparing our hearts for the blessing He had for us.
Well, on to the incredibly marvelous news! We have accepted a referral for a BEAUTIFUL little one and we are beyond excited! I'm not kidding, and this is no mama just bragging, this baby is a CUTIE PIE! I'm sure Baby M will be a head turner everywhere we go. And best of all, from what we have heard and seen Baby M has a happy, content heart. We have many steps to go through before we can call Baby M officially ours, but we are so excited to be on our way.
Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails.
