We have had these precious blessings in our home for six weeks. What amazed me the most is the love and maternal feelings that took over the very night they I brought them in the door. I am not saying that it has been easy, in fact, quite the opposite, it has been hard. I have had to go to God so many times the last few weeks for patience, for strength, for wisdom, for laughter. Not once did God fail me, even when I was telling Him I was quiting and was a failure at this adventure He had taken us on. God would bring something to my mind, bigger than my heart and I knew that I could go on with Christ as my strength. I was amazed at how the enemy tried to trick me with thoughts of doubts and selfishness. The enemy always does that when I am tired. I am grateful for a gracious God that speaks truth to me and show me the enemies tactics. I am thankful for the opportunity for God to do some house-keeping in my heart, getting some areas dealt with that I had thought were under control. Praise Him for the work of sanctification that He has done in me through these children. So the boys will go home on Thursday. I will bring them to their house and meet with their mother and an interpreter. On a side note; anyone looking for a side job should look into doing interpretation, they are paid $35 an hour! And guess who pays for it......... do not get me started. Today I washed clothes, sorted out what I was given and will keep for the next little person, and gathered their belongings and packed them up. I found all the paintings, colored pages and crafts that they made, books that they were given and the Jesus film in Spanish that I hope they will watch. Over and over again the last few days I have reminded God that He needs to keep a watch on these precious boys, and then the Holy Spirit reminds me that of course He will. That truth is what gives me peace. I know that God is not willing that any should be lost, He will draw them to Him if that is His will. I can rest in that truth. Last night A burst into tears as I readied him for bed. This morning he came out of his room for his good morning hug and when I hugged him he burst into tears again. he loves his mommy, but he has told us that he loves us too. He has felt peace here, security and no hunger. I wonder if he is remembering things when he cries. I rest in the sovereignty of God, the all-knowing God, and I hope some day I will know how their futures turned out. We have been blessed. |
