God is faithful

O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago. Isaiah 25:1 (NIV)

Before I started writing today's entry, I was thinking how long this month has dragged on. Then I started looking at scripture and found Isaiah 25:1. As I often do, I forget that God has planned this adoption from the very beginning. I also have a hard time accepting how long it's taking to get Mei. Again, God's perfect will and perfect timing are at work. God already knows our little Mei and has numbered the hairs of her head (Matthew 10:30).

Carla, Marley, Luke, and I are very excited and little apprehensive about next week. We are excited about the possibility of getting our referral, but a little concerned that we will not. Understandably we will be a little disappointed if we do not get our referral, but each of us know that God is in control and has the perfect baby picked for our family.

Thank You God for allowing us to be a part of Mei's life and for being in control of ours!
