Two Years Later - God's Plan...

After two years you may be wondering "What happened?!". Did God really have a plan?

Well, yes, He did, of course. God's hand in things are often much easier to see with hindsight.

After returning from Ukraine, we were offered the opportunity to provide foster care by the agency who did our home study. We did some respite (weekend) care and eventually took on a couple of foster kids.

To make a long story short, we ended up with a little girl, 18 months old at the time, whom we eventually adopted. She is with us today.

Whenever we wonder if we are really doing God's Will, we can look at her for confirmation.

I'd defy anyone to see how things would turn out ahead of time, but we can look back and see the fine thread God wove in our lives to bring us to where we are today.

This child was not yet born when we first went to Ukraine. She was 9 months old during our second trip and in less than a year after that she would start to become part of our family.

This last wasn't clear to see either at the time. Two years ago almost to the day of this writing, she was about to leave our home for good. And yet the "impossible" happened. She stayed and stayed and, well, she's not going anywhere.

Please keep this in mind if your heart seeks God's Will and yet you seem to be far from it. Keep Hebrews 11:6 in mind...

"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

If you are diligently seeking Him, He WILL reward you!

God bless,
