The morning we all were waiting for. We could hardly sit still. She was now only minutes away from where we were sitting. excitement. anticipation. joy. God's faithfulness. His provision.
It was time.
We waited ever so patiently (not!!!) for our driver to take us to her! It seemed like we drove for hours, we were bubbling over with all sorts of emotions. We finally turned a corner, down a very bumpy dirt road....it led us to the orphanage gate. Our driver honked. the gate opened. there she stood.
She had obviously been prepared before we arrived. She knew we were coming. She stood there with those most beautiful brown eyes & that most precious smile. She carefully came to us. hugged all of us. writing this just brings me to tears. I can hardly see through to my screen. i miss her something terrible. and i wonder. does she truly know we are her family. forever. we have not forgotten. we will come back. You see, i know that we will be going back. it seems so far off, but I know. time for a child seems to last forever.
this was one of those days that once again will forever be etched in my mind & heart. She is ours & we are hers. She is HIS!! And He is faithful. He will see this through. And, once she is home, i will be able to tell her about our great God. The One who has perfectly knit our lives together. for a reason. a wonderful, most beautiful reason. He is always faithful. Always Good!!!
