Proverbs 16:9 "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."
We have made the journey to Tahoe for an annual vacation with our good friends the Andersons. As we are so close in the adoption process and wait for referrals from the orphanage we begin to plan for the future. Pastor Paul shared with us recently, and I've been thinking about his comment, man makes a plan but God guides his steps. We know that each and every day is only by the will of God. As I think at this annual event for our family, there is a real possibility of having one or two more will be joining our family for next year's annual vacation. The thought starts to bring some focus in on our adoption journey.
This adventure has taken us in and out of potential adoption possibilities; foster-adopt, to a few potential private adoptions, and back-and-forth through each even looking at adopting internationally. And even now as I reflect it's all been in preparation from God to prepare us (heart mind and soul) for the things he has in store for us.
Another thing that has my mind going was a video Kiana shared with me about the book Kisses from Katie. That with a friend that is in the Congo saying any kid would be fortunate and a blessing. So I am hopeful of the things God has planned for us. For now- Proverbs 16:9 will be our plan. Planning but allowing God to guide us.
