Day of Rest

We don't have anything we have to do today for the adoption. For me it is a much needed day of rest. We have good wifi so Darwin is working. For him, having a good connection and his laptop is a good day. Here is an entry from my journal.

Today in Jesus Calling it says; "Rest with me a while. You have journeyed up a steep and rugged path in recent days. The way ahead is shrouded in uncertainty. Neither look behind you nor before you. Instead focus your attention on me, your constant companion. Trust that I will equip you fully for whatever awaits you on your journey.....I am with you, watching over you wherever you go."
Gen 28:15
15 What’s more, I am with you, and I will protect you wherever you go. One day I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have finished giving you everything I have promised you.”
(NLTSB)
Had we known that Anya and then Yana were going to say no to adoption I am not sure if we would have come. I feel a real sense of peace about Oleg. I think God has led us to him. All we can do on this journey is keep our eyes on God and follow Him. He will continue to give us strength and rest when we need it. Today I need rest. God hasn't necessarily promised us that we will adopt a child. He has promised to guide us when we seek Him. We will continue to seek Him and follow where He leads us.

  1. Your absolutely right God promises to be there when we need guidance. Maybe Oleg needs guidance from you both more then Anya or Yana , you know boys mature slower then girls lol. Whatever the out come is it sure has been a journey one to talk about for years! I'm still w you both in my prayers. Have a wonderful day of rest! Xoxo
