Wait, Pray, and Fish


Thank you, everyone, for your comments, prayers, and support!
The kids fly back to the orphanage Tuesday, and we have yet to decide what we're doing.

I'm headed to Illinois for a week with my dad and middle sister to visit my aunt, uncle, and grandma. Chris will be batching it, and is going to enjoy a brief, personal backpacking retreat this weekend to seek God's face and wait on the Lord. There are several things he'll be praying about with regard to family, work, and ministry, and now he's adding adoption to that list. So, if you think of it, be praying for him as he spends time one-on-one with the Lord.

I'll be off-line, surrounded by cornfields. I won't exactly be alone, but I'll be praying without ceasing like I usually do, and listening for that still small voice with a fishing pole in hand.


Grace and Peace,
Angel

I admire yours and Chris' ability to be still and listen. It's not something I've mastered. Praying.

Sometimes, time away is what is needed. I am praying for you, even though you are already gone.

Happy fishing and communing.

Praying for God to give you both wisdom and guidance-- and for you to reach the same decision separately. :) That is always a nice thing...

Enjoy your quiet time, Angel!

I'm up to date on your situation now, I know it's a week or so later, but I will also be praying for you guys.

I know that God makes Himself easily found when we seek Him with all of our hearts, unceasingly and fervently.

I have a feeling He's going to meet you both.

Take care. Breathe deep. Be at peace.

wow....I've missed hearing from you, so I check in and....wow....

May Jesus give you His wisdom and His peace! One thing I'll say about following Him: life's never boring! :)
