Well, here we are New Year's Day 2009. It seems several New Year's Days have come and gone since we started this adventure. Finally, we will be meeting our child in 11 days. Wow! It is hard to believe. It seems unreal. We've waited so long for this time to arrive. Now we are one week away from leaving to meet our little angel on the other side of the world. Every so often an anxious thought creeps into my mind and I have to "shoo" it away. Don and I both believe that God has spoken to our hearts about adoption. We cannot let any foolish thought interfere with what God has planned for us.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
I am convinced that it is all about hope. In the most dismal days, we must have hope. After all, what else is there? Webster defines hope as, "...a feeling that what is wanted will happen; desire accompanied by expectation...." And the bible reminds us:
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. 1 Peter 1:3
Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord. Psalm 31:24
Happy New Year to All,
Elizabeth
