Faithfulness

I've had the privilege of staying in touch with a dear friend of mine from Hawaii who is going through the adoption process. She began blogging right before she left for Colombia to go pick up her son. Each day I've checked this blog, smiled because of this blog, prayed because of this blog, even shed a tear or two when reading the sadness and uncertainty in Kristen's posts as she waited very very patiently to adopt her son.

The process was not near as quick as we probably all wanted it to be, but like she says below, God has a purpose. I'm proud of her faithfulness in knowing that God will provide and never leave us. Here's a little  something from her most recent post... ENJOY EVERYONE!

I have faith that there is a "purpose" for us being here this long, we might not ever know what that is, but God's ways are greater than ours.  My brother mentioned admiring our perseverance.  The Bible has the following verse regarding that topic:

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 

1 Corinthians 15:58
