And the last couple of days have been just that! Our adoption paperwork seemed to be sailing along, and I was sure we would be done with our home study and entering our immigrations wait very soon. Although meeting our son would still be months away, these milestones at least help me to feel that we are making progress - getting closer to Mycah. And at church on Sunday, there were so many little things said that seemed to confirm that this journey of faith was truly a work of the Lord. Then came Monday. It seemed that for every paperwork step forward there were 2 steps back. Incomplete physical forms, questions about our personal lives, the feeling we were getting the runaround from our social worker.
So this post is a request for prayers, folks! There is a little boy in China who needs medical care and a family. We have exactly 2 months and 3 days left to get our dossier (a MASSIVE amount of paperwork) to China before we risk losing our pre-approval for Mycah, and he becomes available to other potential families. I know that "if he is supposed to be with our family", this will work out. I know that God is not surprised by this slow down in progress. I know that God has a perfect plan for our family and for Mycah. I know that all of this is totally out of my control and that worry does not change anything. I know that I serve a compassionate and sovereign God. I know that God always proves himself faithful in my life. BUT...this week is H.A.R.D.
Please pray for favor, timely processing, provision, and peace this week. This mommy aches to be on the way to get her son. And I desire even more that God be glorified in this situation and in our family.
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled and do not be afraid."
John 14:27
Dear Heavenly Father I ask that you give high favor to Lori and Darrell. I send Angels to guard this process. That things are sped up. I command every obstacle standing in the way to be removed. I tear down strong holds in the middle of this process. I bind every foul spirit that would try to intercept this adoption. Satan release this child's future. I cover Mycah in the blood of Jesus. I send Angels to guard him and keep him. No weapons formed against this adoption will prosper. I call forth a gag order on every enemy trying to prevent it, slow it down or stop it. Go before them, clear the path. Instruct Lori as she feels out the paper work. Provide everything they need. Lord you see this child needs a home....I release this child to come to his parents. I call forth divine intervention from heaven. I loose your hands Lord to operate. This is all done in the name of Jesus. Mycah will come home to the Saylor's house and he will walk forth in his destiny you have planned for him. Amen. Love you guys.
