...closer TO HIM.

Tho you can't hear him,
he is speaking.
Tho you can't see him,
he is acting.
WITH GOD there are no accidents.
EVERY INCIDENT is intended
to bring us CLOSER TO HIM.

Please Lord, draw us closer to you. Truly this all takes so much Faith and Trust because you cannot control ANYTHING. Yesterday on our Colombia Yahoo group a German couple got a referral for a 1 yr. old. They had been waiting since 2007. I really REALLY do not want to wait 5 yrs for more children. Adopolis says they have never had a family wait longer than 3 yrs, but there are NO guarantees with adoption anywhere.We have to simply trust and leave it to an all-knowing GREAT and AMAZING God. Another person on our Colombia group posted this video today of their agencies' vice president's trip to Colombia to visit orphanages. This video brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.Click here to watch it. 
The other night as I was holding my sick child and needing something to do as I rocked I typed in kissesfromkatie.blogspot.com
and drank the inspiration and encouragement Katie's complete FAITH in God always gives me. If you have the time read the whole June 15, 2012 post.

 But I still believe He has purpose, even when I can’t see it.-Katie Davis

We are feeling more encouraged... Adopolis and our psychologist are trying to get something written up that will expel all doubt from Colombia's minds about us. It seems that Colombia has misunderstood parts of the reports our psychologist has written. So we'll keep plodding along.... :) Thanks for your prayers...
