Every time we seem to be facing an insurmountable mountain, a way is made. Not by us, not by anything we try to force. Actually, it seems to be the opposite. We hit a roadblock, we stop and lay it down. I am starting to make the connection that there is power in that. In the laying it down. I DO know there is peace.
Some of Tony's blood work came back abnormal last month....it didn't seem possible. Results were pointing to an autoimmune disease. But he was feeling fine, and he has always been healthy. Something just didn't "feel right" about the results we were given. Our Dr. referred us to a specialist and although we were were hoping it was a lab error, we were told that that was highly unlikely. Not only were we uneasy about what lie ahead as far as Tony's health, we were confused and undecided about how to proceed (or even IF to proceed) with this adoption. And yet...we both felt like God had spoken back in July when we first sent in our initial contract. How could He be changing His mind? Then again, He IS God, and He IS so much bigger then us, and His ways are definitely not ours. So...
We decided to slow down a bit until we figured out what was going on. We went to the specialist and have been waiting for the official results, which came in today. Everything NEGATIVE. Everything NORMAL. A lab error. An unlikely lab error. We are elated and in awe and surprised. Gods hand has been so obvious during this entire journey.....And yet, in our human-ness, we continue to doubt.
Our hope and our prayer for ourselves, for others and for our girl one day when she learns the story of her homecoming...
"That we will know that it is Your hand,
That You, O Lord, have done it." Psalm 109:27
