As most of you who follow my blog, I know I only have a handful of followers, anyways as most of you may know, almost a year ago we started our journey for a second adoption. Then because of unforeseen circumstances we had to put our plans on hold. Well our plans have been on hold since March and I can't begin to express how difficult this has been for me. A big part of me feels like I've been mourning the death of a loved one, and I know all to well what that is like since I've lost both my younger brother 12 years ago and my dad 2.5 yrs now.
You see my heart felt a connection to a child I've yet to see or hold. I believe it has to do with a level of commitment, my heart was committed to loving another child, this idea of another child in our family had already occupied a place in my heart and now that place is void.
I've not abandoned the desire to bring another child into our family, in fact my heart refuses to give up. Although I don't understand why God remains silent in this I continue to cry out to Him and to hold on to His promises believing that His plans are greater than anything I could ever envision in my life.
Sisters I'm asking that you please help me pray our next child home, please ask God to move this mountain. Also, if there is anything that I can pray for for you dear sisters it would be an honor to stand alongside you.
In Christ
Ohhh, I am so sorry Sophie. I will be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteoh dear Sophie, this pain and void must be so difficult for you. Know that I stand there with you in prayer (and sending hugs) that Our mighty Lord will send you strength to endure, courage to continue to hope in His promises, and love and support for your journey. Christ is with us in all our suffereings, and I'm praying yours comes to a glorious ending!! God bless you.
ReplyDeleteOh I have so been there. I'm so sorry and can't offer much more than prayer to you, except to say to try to lay it down at His feet and He will guide your path. It's tough and that's an understatement.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you,
Nancy
I know your heart's desires, Sophie... and so does He! Praying that He gives you rest as you wait on the Lord to see you through this time. I know your heart is grieving and I completely understand how it feels like a loss. But I'm trusting that 'when' the times comes and you are back on that journey again, that when your child is in your arms, you will know that His timing was perfect. May His grace come to you in divine supply to sustain you during this tough time. Praying you have answers soon, as I know He hears your heart's cry.

Don't give up hope, my friend. Stay strong in the Lord and continue to seek His face as you lay this at His feet. Waiting is the hardest part!
"Let us hold unswervingly to the hope that we profess, for He who promised is faithful."

I will be praying for you Sophie. God has seemingly put the 'pause' button on future adoptions for us as well. At this point I'm at peace with that decision but I know that stirring when you have a child you feel is your own so I pray that God will reveal His plan to you soon.
