This week marks two big milestones. First, a year ago this week Daddy and I began this journey to get you girls into our home. We did not know at that time who God had chosen for our family, but we did know that we would be parents to at least one more little girl (because God is GREAT and always exceeds our expectations, He blessed us with not one, but TWO little girls!). Also this week marks the one month point of my return from Haiti. My heart is slowly healing from leaving you again, but it is taking a long time. I miss you, think about you, pray for you, and just want to be with you.
What God is showing me right now is that e is the same God every day of our lives. He is still strong, capable, and mighty. He is still in control, in charge, and alert to my situation. He knows that you are far away from me, he knows that I want you here with me, and he knows when that will happen. The really good news is that he knows my heart, and he loves me. He has good things planned for me. He hears me when I talk to him about you, and he hears you when you talk to him about me! He loves us equally, knows what is best for us, sees our futures, and still chooses to have us apart for now. Though it is hard for me to not have you, I am trusting this alert, capable, and mighty God and his plan for you and me and us.
Earlier this week Silas told me that before he went to bed he want to put his love all over me. Then he gave me a bunch of kisses. That brought a smile to my face. This week as God has shown me in his word that he is in control of our lives, it has been like God is "putting his love all over us" just like Silas put his kisses all over my face.
I love you girls, and I cannot wait to kiss all over you again, but in the meantime I am enjoying the love of our great God and I know you are too.
