Behind these eyes..
Is a boy. Although reluctant, still hopeful.
Behind these eyes..
Is a girl. But also a body and spirit created for something bigger than where she is.
Tonight I pray for peace over these little ones who feel unloved, broken, and forgotten. I pray for their safety and comfort, and hope they find relief soon. I pray the adoption world would begin to change in a positive way...one in which they care wholeheartingly for the children in need rather than their bottom line. I pray that I remember that I was once orphaned, yet once I was accepted by God's grace, I became His Daughter...A Daughter of a King. Just as I was dirty and sinful and shameful, he cleansed me, wiped me off, hugged me, and said you know what Amy, it's gonna be ok. You are no longer an orphan." I pray I can give our children this same grace, to have the patience and love that I am continually shown. No matter how many times I want to run away from His truth.. fail, and falter, He is watching and patiently waiting...waving for me to come on back in the house, take a warm bath, relax, and rejoice in His relentless love. Thank you God for continually inviting me to come back Home.
Oh, my goodness. These sweet , sweet children !
