We don’t understand how God works.
It may take walking through the gates of Heaven for that to happen, and
even then we probably won't be able to comprehend it. But
this we DO understand; it doesn’t matter how He works. Only that you have a personal relationship with
Him enough that you can trust Him. It is
through that relationship that He changes us so that miracles can happen.
The past 7 months have been filled with praying, planning, PAPERWORK, waiting,
traveling, grieving, more praying, more waiting, freaking out (Neil says this
was mostly Michelle), more prayers,
giving it to God, wanting to take it back
from God, and praying. It’s been a
difficult road, especially once we arrived in Ukraine exactly 2 weeks ago. But today we’re certain that road brought us
to our destination, and today we met the kids that we feel God has had in mind for us
all the time.
This journey, which has been worth the trials that have stretched our
faith along the way, has yielded God’s promise – a promise of blessings for
those who are faithful to Him through
the trials.
We can’t wait to be able to share pictures and stories, and introduce
you to these spunky kids who seem to have been crafted to be Stinsons! For now, while we are still in the beginning, we just ask for your prayers.
There is SO much to accomplish this week. Please pray for us that we can continue
bonding with the kids, and pray that our regional coordinator can make miracles
happen this week so that we might be able to come back home next Monday. Everything that happened today just made us
miss Sophia and Claire so much more!
Just one more week, girls!
