“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Hebrews 11:1
I have always loved this verse. I’ve never been much of a Bible-verse- memorizer-girl (I hated Bible drills in Sunday school and failed Bible class in the 5th grade), but this one has stuck with me my entire life. Don’t know why, but it always comes back into my brain on days like today—the days when I am reminded that it’s all about faith, hope and conviction.
This is the day. Please pray with Donovan and me for safe travels to and fro, for my joints to stay in place and for us to avoid any sickness so that we can focus all of our energies on Noemi. This process is a bitter sweet, and we expect to be slammed with the emotions wrapped up in the tragedy of any child becoming an orphan and what that means for a family and for a country, coupled with the joy of meeting the child we have prayed for for so long. What a gift. And then we pray for God’s hands to hold us as we hold her and teach each other that she is ours and we are hers. Always.
Our cup is overflowing this morning…
See you soon...
