Prayer Circle

Things move slow in Ethiopia and while I am waiting for a referral, several other families with my agency are having an even rougher time, waiting to pass court and bring their children home. Several of the families have been through things that are unimaginable and have persevered. However as their court cases have come through they have been continued or not heard and pushed to the next day. Missing paperwork, overloaded caseloads...you name it, they are experiencing it. So yesterday the group from my Agency held a prayer circle and prayed for these families, the paperwork issues and all those waiting. After the prayer, the Lord revealed something to a woman named Linsey and she is letting me share this with you as well. I think it gives great insight into what this journey really means.

Each one of us is on a journey. We all started for different reasons, some because of barren wombs, others simply desiring to love a child…yet all have been called by God. Called to walk a path that most would never consider. It is a path you must travel, where your heart is open and vulnerable. You must lay down all your weapons of defense before you are allowed to start your journey. You are required to expose all that you are; your short comings, your faults, and your mistakes all the while convincing someone that you are fit for the task. You are told ahead of time that the road is long and hard. There will be moments when the path is clear, the road is marked and your strength will be renewed. There will also be moment when you stand in a fog unable to decipher which way to turn and your mind will be clouded with doubt. In moments like these you need to remember your beginning. Remember that you were called by God. Look up, grasp hold of His fingers, close your eyes, and let the sound of His voice lead you out of the fog. Speak to Him, remind Him of the signs you've been given that declare your call to the journey. In remembering…your faith will rise up.

Simply Beautiful!
