start spreading the news

Sometimes it feels like I'm swimming upstream, against the current.


Now that we are home, we've been spreading the news, telling more and more people about our adoption plans. We have not always gotten the reaction we had hoped for.

But how great God is, that He knows exactly what I need to hear, exactly when I need to hear it.

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted;
you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,
defending the fatherless and the oppressed,
in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.
Ps 10:17-18

You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.
Gen 50:20
(Joseph speaking to his brothers)

Scripture that speaks to God defending the fatherless. Scripture that speaks to the sovereignty and goodness of God's plan.

So we press on, holding onto God's hand.
