Praise the Lord The Dossier is Complete!
Much to my delight I found our papers returned from the Haitian Consulate in our mailbox today! I have everything for the dossier. Every box is checked...every last one. Praise the Lord!!!!!!!
(Kathy - I think that makes it officially time for an HBWD in honor of this auspicious occasion!)
Tracy ~ Unfortunately having the dossier done means we are just at the beginning of a VERY long road. I will hopefully be traveling at the end of September to meet her & attend a DHS appointment, but it will likely be 1.5 years before she comes home. Sad but true. Stephanie
Stephanie I am so very happy for you! What a joyous event! and yes now the waiting begins. But God will show you such beauty if you allow Him to. Now this is the part of the adoption that is about you. It is a fantastic journey!Welcome. Christina
Faith is BELIEVING the Word of God and acting on it no matter how I feel, believing that God will bring a good result.
Faith is not a belief that everything will turn out to please us; rather it is the confidence that no matter how things turn out, God will somehow use the events in our days for His glory and for our good.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Faith is being willing to trust God - turning your hopes and problems over to Him and trusting in His wisdom - and knowing that somehow everything will turn out for the best. No matter how difficult or dark things become, there is always a light.
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation.
