We finally got THE phone call today! THE phone call to tell us that Grace is officially ours! PRAISE GOD! To Him be all glory, honor, and praise!
I am standing kneeling in awe over God's sovereign Hand. Only He could say to a couple - who need His grace every single moment - "I have a gift for you. It is a gift that most will not understand the value of. She has waited for over 4 years for you - because I made her for you. I made her very uniquely - and she has been abused by those who were supposed to care for her - I am asking you to be My arms to hold her close. For you to be My audible words saying, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made - you are worth every price of redemption." I want you to be the ones to tenderly wipe every tear and soothe away years of hurt. I want you to be a reflection of My love."
I am in awe that He would do this even as my faith began to falter. I finally "hit the wall" with waiting this weekend - I began to doubt and fear. Yet, even in all of my faithlessness, He is faithful.
God is doing amazing things....I cannot wait to share them. I stand in awe of His grace and His power.
He is worthy to be praised! I am forever grateful for His redemption and His grace!
God be praised! I cannot wait until your little sweetheart gets to come home. I have been praying for her and your family since I found your blog, and this is just the most wonderful news.

Thank you, Sarah! I think I am in a bit of shock right now. We are still waiting for the acutal travel dates - so I think once we can book flights, it will feel more real. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your prayers. Please pray that her little heart will be ready for us - after so many years in an orphanage. Please also pray for a smooth transition for her medications - some are not available in the US. To Him be all the glory!
