hope

I couldn't help myself at the store the other day and I bought this doll.

The picture doesn't do her justice, she is SO CUTE!

As I got to thinking about it, I realized that this doll represents hope.

We haven't lost our hope, we still have it.

As this process continues to drag on longer and longer, and as we've been updating our home study, fingerprints, medical exams, CIS extension and passports, I realize that we are doing all of this because we have hope.

That hope is what keeps us going on the hardest of days when we are ready for all of this to be over.

And we ARE ready for this to be over.

God called us to this little girl and we long to have her in our arms.

All glory to HIM!

He has been our sustainer during this long ordeal,
and He is our hope!

I heard this new song on the radio a few days ago and it has really ministered to my heart. I believe it speaks to exactly where I am with Him on this journey.

I pray that it ministers to you too.

MY HOPE IS IN YOU Lyrics
Aaron Shust

I meet with You and my soul sings out
As your word throws doubt far away
I sing to You and my heart cries
“Holy!
Hallelujah
Father, You’re near!”

My hope is in You, Lord
All the day long
I won’t be shaken by drought or storm
A peace that passes understanding is my song
And I sing
My hope is in You, Lord

I wait for You and my soul finds rest
In my selfishness, You show me grace
I worship You and my heart cries “Glory
Hallelujah
Father You’re here!”

My hope is in You, Lord
All the day long
I won’t be shaken by drought or storm
A peace that passes understanding is my song
And I sing
My hope is in You, Lord

I will wait on You
You are my refuge
I will wait on You
You are my refuge

My hope is in You, Lord
All the day long
I won’t be shaken by drought or storm
My hope is in You, Lord
All the day long
I won’t be shaken by drought or storm
A peace that passes understanding is my song
And I sing
My hope is in You, Lord
My hope is in You, Lord
Yeah
My hope is in You, Lord
