Made it past 9pm...Lydia is officially our baby...so full of thanks!

It has been an amazing, hard, wonderful, draining, powerful last two years through Selah's adoption and now Lydia's. We have seen God's faithfulness every step of the way...we're rejoicing tonight as we pass the hour of "legal risk" and we know that Lydia's adoption can move forward!

"He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water...
He raises up the needy out of affliction and make their families like flocks.
Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things;
Let him consider the steadfast love of the Lord."
~Psalm 107:35, 42, 43

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God;
I will strengthen you , I will help you.
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand....
For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand;
It is I who say to you 'Fear not, I am the one who helps you'...
When the poor and needy seek water and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst;
I, the Lord will answer them;
I, the God of Israel will not forsake them....
I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water....
That they may see & know...that the hand of the Lord has done this.
~Isaiah 41
