Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Bringing Our Kids Home

I just went last week to see a precious baby boy at the hospital....FRESH FROM THE WOMB!! MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE THING!!!! Oh this baby was gorgeous, with wonderful proud parents. These parents were soooo loving and attentive, I left that hospital just REJOICING at how the Lord blesses us with babies and parents that love them from the moment they are conceived.
As I was leaving and walking out of that hospital and thanking God that I just got to witness another piece of heaven on earth...seeing that gorgeous baby so beautiful and content and loved...it NEVER once occurred to me to ask these parents if they could afford to bring this baby home, or to ask how they were going to pay for the hospital and delivery.
But, I constantly ask myself how we are going to pay for Esther and how we are going to afford going to get her....that is soooo small of me and so small of my faith and love. As parents, we just do it, we just trust the Lord. We don't question whether we can afford our kids or whether we have enough money to bring them home. We trust the Lord, we walk in faith, we conceive them, have them, bring them home and take care of them. It increases our love and faith on a daily basis, but as parents that is what we do weather they are conceived in our belly or in our hearts first.
We have conceived Esther in our hearts. God has increased our love, and we have her growing in our hearts and when it is time to go get her SOON, we will just walk in faith, we will have to trust that the Lord will help us bring this daughter home. No different than the times we went to the hospital to deliver and bring home our 5 other children. We walked into that hospital in FAITH that God would provide and help us to have a safe delivery, and that we would bring home a baby, and never question whether or not we could afford to bring them home.
This time we will board a plane and walk into a courtroom, and walk in faith, and never question if we can afford to bring her home. God will bring her home to her family, just like He brought our other kids home to their family.
