I (Gary) wanted to also share a few thoughts that I feel God has been putting on my heart over the last three weeks. I know that at least for me I have felt tremendous peace the last week or two. I am supremely confident in that God will only give us as much as we can handle.
Not that I/we are wishing for such circumstances, but we feel confident that God will provide for us physically and emotionally through this process. I also look forward to the process (as hard as it will be) and know that God is going to bless my son with a tremendous story no matter what happens.
We have been reading a few other blogs in the process and that has provided tremendous hope for us; reading through the process and the emotional roller coaster that will ebb and flow. I have been amazed at how someone living a 1,000 miles away, whom we have never met, can have such a profound impact on our life. If you have eight hours and want to read about a tremendous family, knock yourself out here.
It's funny how in church I constantly hear about life circumstances that families go through and wonder why I never felt like life had been that hard for me. I am sure my faith will be tested beyond comprehension throughout this process and to be honest, despite a few hard initial days, this has been easy thus far because there is nothing we can do right now except lean on my relationship with God and trust.
2 Corinthians 12:9
New Living Translation (NLT)
Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
