Keep the prayer going.....

Here is Liam when we first saw him. He  was just a day old.  

Here is the first picture of Callum that we saw. He was just a few days old.   Looking at him now, it is so hard to believe that he was ever that little!!!

I sit here now with my beautiful son, I know they are both gorgeous, but I am with Liam right now:0)  and I think of this time last year.  I was in the worst pit of my life.  I didn't understand the waiting, the heartache, the obstacles being put in front of us.  Lately, between my bible study, sermons at church, Sunday school, etc. there has definitely been a recurring theme.  In our times of despair, turn to God and keep your eyes there.  I wish that I could say that I did that through our adoptions the last 4 1/2 years, but sadly I have to say that there were many times I was upset, angry, bitter, every emotion, I had it.  I have learned so many things through our waits and although I would NEVER  wish the hurt of what we went through on another person , I do know that God had this planned for us.  Even though I still struggle to understand why , I do know that God worked it all out to His glory. He placed amazing people in our path and worked miracles through many people to keep us on the right path.  

I still have many friends that are still awaiting their beautiful children. Some that may not have the same out come as we did. I ask that you continue to lift the situation in Guatemala up in prayer especially those families and children still waiting.
