My pastor at Forest Hill has been preaching on this series for the last two weeks. We are talking about God's presence in scripture from the Old to the New Testament. Today was about Shad, Mesh and Abed in the firey furnace. Such a great story of how God was with them in the fire and the testament to staying strong to what you believe and know to be true.
The motivating speech by Mel Gibson in Brave heart was shared during the service. It brought a smile to my face when I thought of my visit with Heather to the William Wallace Monument. Oh how I have grown up since then. :) Once again I am convicted about having courage and standing up for the right thing all the time. As Wallace said "They may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom".
Courage and Hope. My focus for the week has been set.
Update on the adoption front is that three people from my agency have passed court last week and will potentially travel in 6 weeks. There were 42 cases that had paper work problems and over half have been solved. I am in the last half. I do feel encouraged that something is happening in my agency. Mondays are when we usually get updates, so it is always a great way to start out the week.
Better news yet, I received an email from a friend with my agency telling me that there were new pics on snapfish. Yoseph was in about 7 of them. Holy smokes this kid has huge eyes! I got a chance to see him sitting up and playing. He also has a lot of hair on his head. It is always great to see new photos of him.
