You are my hiding place

I've been on a bit of a blog fast for about a month.  There has been tons of activity going on and we've been waiting and praying for any news of our children.----  Well, God has melted one HUGE mountain,----- but another one has risen up in it's place.  We are incredibly encouraged by the way God is working it all out, and are confident that He will finish the work He began.  From the beginning our intention in adopting them has been to keep all 4 together.  Our enemy knows this as well.  But, God is sovereign and His will is that none should perish.  I'm very thankful that He has the big picture, and that His ways are not my ways!


My heart still breaks for Mercy and Isaiah.  


My Bible study leadership had a prayer retreat this past weekend, and during prayer and worship time as I was praying for my precious Mercy, my sweet friend, Brynn began singing this song with the voice of an angel----- thank you Holy Spirit!


You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid
I will trust in You

I will trust in You
Let the weak say
I am strong
In the strength of the Lord

You are my hiding place

       you will protect me from trouble

and surround me with songs of deliverance.       Selah

                                             Psalm 32:7

This is my prayer for Mercy and Isaiah.  God is speaking and teaching me that He is with them and giving them a hiding place in Himself.  

Still holding onto HOPE!

In the meantime, we are waiting for a court date for Nate and James.  

We received a precious updated pic of the boys.  Last time we saw them, they both looked so exhausted, drawn and thin.  The new pics show filled out faces full of color and life.  James' shaved head, now has the most beautiful rock star curls!  

Thank you to everyone who continues to hold up our children in prayer!  We are praying for all of you also, as you labor to bring home your children!

"Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?"  says the Lord.  
"Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?"  says your God.
Isaiah 66:9
