I remember when I first saw this painting… I believe the artist titled it, "Waiting". Each time I would look at it I could not help but think of my daughter the Lord had put in my heart… Each time I looked at it I could not help but think of the over 147,000,000 children who are orphaned in the world. Each time I looked at it my heart ached…
It seemed like forever before we were even able to begin the adoption process to find our daughter and bring her home. Looking back I see how God's hand orchestrated every step to our Isabella. At the time He put her in my heart, it would be more than two years before she would be born. He opened the door for us to begin at the exact moment it would take to lead us to the precious child He had chosen to be ours.
If you are waiting to hold your son or daughter in your arms I want to encourage you with the truth that God's timing is perfect. No matter what mountains stand between you and your child, God is bigger! He already has it all worked out. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and stay the coarse. He is faithful!
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1
God's speed…
