APPROVED!!!
So, once again, it's been an incredibly long time since I last posted anything on here and I do appreciate your patience. Shoot, it's been even longer than the last period in between my posts... So sorry!
In June we were called by our adoption agency with tidings of great joy saying that we had been APPROVED by the country of Colombia to adopt from them; Amazing how such a simple word can bring such satisfaction, lift your spirits and bring you such value. The idea that Colombia found us safe, that we had passed the test for them, made me more than happy.
Following that phone call came this overwhelming sense of joy filling my heart as the word "APPROVED" rang in my ears. That is exactly what has happened to us through the blood of Jesus. We have been APPROVED by our Heavenly Father. Accepted, cleared, favored, considered agreeable or good. We, who are in Jesus, have satisfied/met our Perfect and Holy God's standard, only because of the life, death and resurrection of our loving Savior Jesus! Man, what an amazing, too-good-to-be-true truth...except it is TRUE!!! THIS is what has happened in our stead so that we can come to our Creator. BLOWN AWAY!!!! Praying this simple yet, mind boggling reminder blesses you like it has blessed me.
Please keep us in your prayers as we have been told Colombia has slowed down, sped up and continues to be that roller coaster ride. We are not sure how this will affect us but we know that however it does affect us will not thwart God's perfect timing or plan of our little Colombians coming to us. Pray that we continue to live in that truth daily, keeping our eyes fixed on Him.
Blessings!
