Sometimes in life there are things that are hard to wrap your mind around. Today has been one of those days for me.
- TODAY my friend Rhonda from my girlfriends small group is in CHINA meeting her baby girl for the first time. http://branderfamily.blogspot.com/
- TODAY my friend Kathy from the same small group is in KOREA meeting her baby girl for the first time. http://thelipicbunch.blogspot.com/
- TODAY one of my daughters closest friends Molly is in GUATEMALA loving on orphans which are the passion of her heart. http://guatemolly1.blogspot.com/
- TODAY my Yahoo Group friend Stephanie is in ETHIOPIA meeting her precious baby boy for the first time and loving on my three kids as well. http://www.ephromsfamily.blogspot.com/
Really - What are the chances that I would have friends in ALL of these places at ONE time for the purpose of loving on orphans and bringing them home? I am overwhelmed with the goodness of God that He would set me in the midst of these friends and that TODAY would be such a monumental day for ALL of them. Mind-boggling!
And while they cannot update their blogs or post enough pictures to keep me satisfied, each one stirs up those deep longings within me to have my own experience of finally getting on that plane; my own experience of another country the Lord has drawn my heart to; and my own experience to hold the children that He planted in my heart many, many months ago.
Lord, we continue to wait for your timing. We continue to pour out our hearts desires before you. We continue to trust that you will complete this amazing work that you have begun.
Here are the words to a song that has been running through my mind today. (I couldn't find a good you-tube).
Lord Most High
From the ends of the earth
From the depths of the sea
From the heights of the heavens
Your name be praised.
From the hearts of the weak
From the shouts of strong
From the lips of all people
This song we raise
Throughout the endless ages
You will be crowned with praises, Lord most high
Exalted in every nation
Sovereign of all creation
Lord most high, be magnified
