I thought since I hadn’t mentioned anything about our adoption I should give a little update.  The update is that there isn’t much to update on!  We have been viewed by several birth mothers who ended up choosing someone to parent their child but not us.  Sometime this month (hopefully we will know soon when) we will be viewed by two different birthmoms.  We continue to wait for God’s timing. 

I have been thinking a lot on this text from Luke 18:  And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. 2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. 3 And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ 4 For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” 6 And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. 7 And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8 I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

This has affected me in two ways – 1) Keep praying and don’t lose heart – I pray to a merciful, good God and 2) it’s made me pray more for His justice – in doing so I have been asking Him to refine my desires for adoption.  I don’t think it’s wrong that one of my chief one’s is wanting another child but I feel He is adding more to it.  Maybe tomorrow I’ll write about what some of those things are!
