17 months.
The summer is definitely over! It has felt cold and blustery here for a few days. I am back at work but Luke is not. He had his surgery and the healing is taking time. This is again a steep learning curve.
I feel it is important to stay positive and hopeful, but sometimes God leads you to rely on Him above all else. A place where He becomes our cry and we learn what the phrase
He is all we need really means. We have prayed more for this Journey this week than before, and in God's unique way, this Journey is becoming so much more than seeing His plan for our family come to pass. (I find he rarely teaches one thing at a time!) We are being shown His heart, our own weakness and wrong beliefs, our need for spiritual healing and, how walking through pain is going to help us be parents in the future to a child who will know emotional pain. It is hard, and one day we hope to be able to share all the lessons we are learning from a place of strength. For now we are looking to God to increase our understanding and to reveal Himself to us again. We prayed when we were first married,
God- whatever it takes, we want to know you more. He took us at our word!
We are so grateful to be walking this
Journey together and to have people around us who love us
through it! xxx
No news from Peru, and we are trusting His timing. A very interesting programme on BBC2 this week called
Adopting Abroad: Saira's Story. A two part documentary following a family adopting through the same agency as us. Not exactly the same process overseas but the same UK part was the same. Might still be online if you get to watch it!
