"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."
-James 1:2-4
This has been my favorite set of verses as well as life verse and it continues to bring me hope throughout all the crazy situations life has thrown my way.
I was anticipating with this next post to deliver you all good news. However, that is not the case. We were hoping and praying for this baby to be baby Wall #3 but unfortunately, like so many previous times, it appears God has a different plan. Though our agency is continuing to be hopeful that the birth mom will contact them when she goes into labor, they have lost contact with her for quite some time. With the due date here and gone, and no contact from the birth mom, it looks like this little boy will not be the one for our family.
As we continue to ride the roller coaster that has been this whole adoption process, Dan and I are constantly provided with opportunities to grow in our faith as we continue to trust the Lord and his plan for our family. While we are certainly disappointed in what appears to be the outcome of this situation and unsure of the road ahead, we are still praying for baby Wall #3 and have complete faith that he or she will arrive in God's perfect timing.
With all that being said, we are so appreciative of your prayers for this journey our family continues to pursue. We will remain on board with our agency in CA. However, we are always open to other avenues as well. You never know who you will come across, so please continue to get our name out there.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, support and most importantly prayers! We are excited to see what 2015 holds!
