During one very late night (or was it an extremely early one?) the Lord woke me up. I began to feel a pressing in my heart to begin to pray for the child that was coming to us - one that will be placed with us. I was told that this precious one needs my prayers - that she was already in whatever "bad" situation she was to be rescued from... just that no one has found her yet. Tears welled in my eyes for this precious one that I don't even know yet. But our Heavenly Father knows exactly where she is...
Of course in my simple mind, that would mean that everything was going well with the Dewey's mother and they would be moving home by the end of September as planned. Famous last words, right?
But I do know that these delays are not frustrating to Him.... the creator of the universe knows every thought and intent of our heart....so this is just moving along to Him. To us earthly creatures, however, waiting is soooooo hard!
Do you know that the amplified Bible uses the word "wait" over 180 times? People all through out the old and new testaments waiting... waiting on people, waiting on circumstances, waiting on God...waiting....
So here we are... called to do something great....wait. But somehow I think a lot of our lessons in life and a lot of our growth in Him comes in the waiting, don't you?
Please join me in prayer for the safety of our next treasure to come...
