Our dream- our prayer

Some have asked specifically the prayer needed during this process. The dream we have is to adopt a little girl. Not too set on anything, just the fact that we are supposed to give a little girl a home. We would like to adopt an infant but that's a chore..... we've been told that it would be easier to adopt a toddler-elementary age. Right now that doesn't seem like the option nor the desire we feel but who knows what God has in store as his plan is revealed.

We are open to about an option right now. Finding a birth mom, adoption agency, international, foster/adopt...just looking at all options right now. The expense is so huge for international and domestic adoption. We believe God will make a way but my goodness it's hard to commit to such a huge expense when you have a family already to support. Words from a favorite song, "He will make a way when there seems to be no way. He works in ways we cannot see. He will make a way!" God is good. Pray for our strength to build! We have faith and we continue to remain steadfast but we eventually are going to have to commit to something and go with it. I'M SCARED! But where there is fear, there is no faith. I keep reminding myself of that.

Pressing on, we believe and that's all we have to do. The flesh wants to see it all and then believe but that's not how it works. Boy, have we all grown accustom to that- Seeing and then believing!

Lord we pray for strength. We pray for faith the faith that is written about in your word. The faith that has healed the sick and raised the dead. You have given us authority as your children to ask and we come asking for a little girl. This world has taught us different but we are looking to you our Father for our guidance, not a plan of our own but of your works. You say you knew us before we were formed. That you are the author and finisher of our faith. So you know Lord how important this is to us and the joy that this little one will bring us. Lord you have placed this desire in our hearts. Our family is in agreement to recieve the blessing you want for us. We praise you God for everything! You have blessed us beyond measure. We ask that you provide the way for us to do this adoption and we pray that every financial need we have will be met. All glory goes to you because we know we could never do this without you. Amen and Amen!!!
