Basement windows and God's will

Last night we asked the kids what their prayer requests were in regards to fostering/adopting.

-That the boys would be able to move into the room downstairs (-clean up and put in a larger basement bedroom window)
-Add more rooms to the house!  ;)
-Playground...  heh.
-Concerns about what the baby will look like:  cute baby  :)
-That it's a girl!  
-That we would know God's will!  (this was their own request)

On top of their requests we pray that we'd be prepared and patient.  That our hearts would be soft and flexible.  That we'd have wisdom to know which path to take...  there are a couple different programs to go with that are similar but different, too!  That we'd be tight and united as a couple and a family.  That we'd understand the challenges these kids face and be able to help them through them...  and help our kids understand it all, too!  (A lot of talk about problems regarding meth at our foster meetings...)  That I'd be able to establish a connection between the church and the area foster kids.  That our finances would line up and not be a hindrance.

We're so thankful we serve a big God who has a heart for the "fatherless" and the "least of these".  Praying our hearts would beat with His.  Stepping out and fixing our eyes on Jesus!  Equip us with everything good for doing Your will, Lord.  Work in us what is pleasing to You.  Thank you that You are the God of Peace!  (You brought Jesus back from the dead...  what problem is too big for You to handle!?)


Hebrews 13:20-21
Now may the God of peace, 
who through the blood of the eternal covenant 
brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, 
that great Shepherd of the sheep,
equip you with everything good for doing his will, 
and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, 
through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
