Terri - you are so right God does NOT call us to sit still to be a doormat - He says I will give you all the tools you need - listen and I will show you the way. My word will be a lamp to your feet! So encouraging!

Just think, at least we are not called like Joshua to walk around Jericho 7 times waiting for walls to crumble. We are being called to wait on Him long enough to work things out perfectly for our children to come home.

Your wait, agency and situation are not easy to deal with - what many do is unethical and sinful beyond what we can often bare. That is why crying out to the Lord for instruction and guidance and comfort is so important. He will provide the way out of all situations! He knows what we can bare and what we can't.

He knows the strength He must give you daily to keep you walking side by side with Him to bring your child home! Hang in there - I know your pain and I know our Heavenly Father loves us so much that He will make it right! Glory be to His name!!!
