Need God's Leading

Good morning all,

I haven't posted in a long time, but I am in need of some prayer. My Dh and I have decided to adopt again (we have 3 bio girls and two adopted sons), but our hearts are pulled in two different directions. We adopted our boys domestically -- they are both AA, and 6 months and 10 months when we brought them home. It was such a wonderful experience, and we loved the agency we worked with. We both would love to work with them again, but we are being pulled in the direction of Ethiopia as well. I have been praying for God's leading. Just when I think I have it set in my mind that we should go domestic, the images of the orphans in Ethiopia start running through my mind. It really has been a source of stress for me lately -- it seems that it is on my mind all the time. I'm actually dedicating today to prayer (as much as I can with 5 children at home ), and I would love it if you would pray with me. I need God to make this decision for us!

Thanks so much!
Emily

Remember.....

Our God is a God of order and clarity. Anything else is of the enemy.

I pray you find that clarity today.

God definitely led us to our international adoption. I pray you find your way to a decision.

Boy, is this the truth! I think you may know your answer, Emily, when you feel 'at peace' with your choice. I've said a prayer for you too.

Sincerely,

Linny
