There's a small "crew" of us scattered across the US that is adopting from Ghana, thru Eban Project
We are in a private group on Facebook and that has allowed us to share in one another's lives, somewhat. We can share struggles, ask for prayer, and most recently be filled with JOY together as we watched one of the first families bring home their precious little girl.
Anna is her name. And she is a little piece of Heaven. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
And the most beautiful thing is that she is NO LONGER AN ORPHAN!
God brought her to her forever family. Who just so happens to live in North Carolina.
While I can't lie and say that it doesn't hurt just a little. Hurt, from wondering why our process is taking so long. From the many questions in my mind. It's not fair for me to mask those very real feelings. Feelings of pain in the unknowing, in the waiting.
But, God has reminded me over and over again that right now there is reason to be JOYFUL. And honestly, in my heart, I know there are always reasons to be joyful. We just get that cloud surrounding us and don't look up to take notice of the many, many reasons God gives us each and every day to give thanks, to be joyful.
So, today, and all week long I have been so filled with JOY for this wonderful family that is now together.
Thanks be to God...
