I am beginning to understand that we find Jesus in the faces of these orphans and I am so excited about our journey. One of the verses that God pointed out to me was Isaiah 45:3 that says "And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness-secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name." Going to Kazakhstan and opening my heart up even now to the awareness of the plight of these precious children is such a scary thing...truly heartbreaking...but I know that God has hidden treasures in that darkness, and if we humble ourselves and are faithful and get involved our God will do amazing things.
It's funny, as the acceptance letters come in and things happen so fast we have moments of fear about how fast its going...and then moments later we are so upset that it is going so slow. What a crazy roller coaster ride! We pray that we will remember the One who is really carrying us through this whole thing.
