Daniel and I mentioned a while back that we were trying to adopt Isaiah's biological sibling due in February. I realized last night I haven't wrote any updates because people were asking if we still were. Well our answer is not this time. After much prayer we really felt the Lord telling us not this time. He called us to be available and my heart struggled with this when we first found out about baby #2. It was overwhelming for me, I wasn't ready for another baby and the fears continued...I felt like I was in constant turmoil over what to do. Then I remembered the Lord calling us to be available...the details didn't matter...if He wanted us to adopt again then He alone would work out all the details.
Well, this time...it wasn't our time. He wasn't calling us to adopt baby #2 but instead I feel that He wanted to know that we would be available and willing to jump when He calls. A lesson I'm still (and will always) be trying to learn! It's tough for me...more than Daniel because I fret, worry and stress.
All that said Daniel and I are not adopting baby #2 BUT we are SO VERY THANKFUL because the Lord works everything out according this His perfect plan! You see Deb and Harvey (birth parents) were given several profile books to look at, one family being a client of our consultants...of all the profiles they choose this family! A family who I'm told was very bold and outright about their faith and love for our Savior! This overjoyed my heart to know that God hand picked this family for Deb and Harvey but secretly let them think they did the picking :)! The best part of all is they live near us and we prayerfully will have the opportunity to meet them and their soon to be new comer!
