Dear Friends and Family,
We didn’t think we would be writing another update so quickly, but what should we expect when we are committed to His timing?
A short while ago, our social worker called to update us on the baby up for adoption, due July 24th.
After having been shown our family profile book, the birth mother
declined us. There are specific preferences she had in mind, and we do
not fit them. Is this rejection? Maybe… Is this hard to take in? Yes.
Is this His sovereignty working in front of our eyes? A resounding YES!
Habakkuk 3:17-18 is a gentle reminder of rejoicing in the midst of unknown outcomes.
17 Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,
the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

Matthew Henry says, “Joy
in the Lord is especially seasonable when we meet with losses and
crosses in the world. Even when provisions are cut off, to make it
appear that man lives not by bread alone, we may be supplied by the
graces and comforts of God's Spirit.”
As I write this, we just found out there may be another possibility of a baby due in November! We give this all to the Lord! We have a phone conference with this birthmother scheduled for tomorrow! Please cover us in prayer that this conversation would glorify God and our words would be from Him!
Your prayer covering is so precious to us!
