November 17, 2010 is a day that Lee and I will never forget. It was the day that the Lord confirmed to both of us that He had indeed called us to adopt. We took this picture that night.
I am so thankful for this photo. It is such a tangible reminder of God's calling on our lives.
But y'all.... that was FOUR years ago!
Four years and we are STILL on this journey!!
We have learned a lot and grown a lot since that night, but our desire for our son only increases by the day! Our passion for orphans has not faded.
Today was a hard day.
My heart is so heavy over our adoption. I desperately long to see Malachi's face. I long to have these days of waiting behind us. This mother's heart aches for a child that she has not yet seen, felt or heard.
Still we wait.
God's timing is perfect. His will is perfect. He knows our past, present and future.
I trust that He is working all things together for His purposes.
It's still hard.
I am not sure when Malachi will come home, but I know two amazing brothers that are waiting on him!
Please continue to pray for us and that God would bring our boy home quickly!!
Praying for y'all. He is faithful! Thank you for sharing your heart.
