Some times in life there is no denying that the God of the universe, and He alone, orchestrates the events of our lives. This is one of those times when the little things in life are adding up to prove that God is bigger than anything we can fathom. Here is why.......
On January 26, 2012 a mother, with no other options, brought two little girls to Lifeline Orphanage in Croix-de-Bouquets, Haiti. She delivered them into the hands of a Christian ministry team knowing that they would one day get opportunities in life that she could no longer afford them. It was her desire that they be given a chance at a better life, one with food, medicine, education, and countless other opportunities.
On January 27, 2012 Ryan came home and told me that he thought we needed to consider growing our family trough adoption.
God's plan was seemless.
For roughly 5 weeks Sunshine and Sleyca's future was uncertain to those who stood by on this earth, but God always knew their future. He knew that a second home was already being prepared for them. A home that he had blessed with medicine, food, education, English language coaches, peers, grandparents, and many other amenities.
On March 7, 2012 The Yoho family formally accepted a referral for these two precious little girls. They are healthy, and they are happy, and they are coming to our house just as soon as these earthly powers can get them here.
As of right now they are 5 and 2. They will reside at the orphanage and attend school, receive medical attention as needed, and be fed and cared for until they are allowed to come home (roughly 15-18 months from now). The waiting will be hard as hard for us as the grieving is for them right now, but we know that God is in control of this situation and we are grateful that he is revealing His plan to us in such clear and obvious ways.
Some day in the next many months we will meet them both, and tell them all about the life and the siblings and the opportunities waiting for them. But, more importantly we will tell them about how their God loved them enough to rescue them, first from their sin natures, and then from a life without a family. What a mighty God we serve!
14 plus 2 equals 16!!!! Never in our wildest dreams did Papa and I ever imagine that God would bless us with 10 beautiful grandkids. Just goes to show that you can't out do God because His plans are always so much bigger and better then anything we can plan for ourselves if we just open ourselves up to His possibilities. Rest easy sweet little ones-the God who created you is an AWESOME God. Love-Nana
