Boy, do I remember the tug-of-war going on in our hearts the night before getting Jia. Are we being selfish taking her from everything she knows? Is this really what's best for her? I knew all along how much I wanted her, but had I stopped to think of what she would want? I remember going to bed that night just a bundle of nerves.
Even more, I remember waking up the next morning and reaching for my bible. As we sat in bed and re-read some scriptures that had become favorites over the years, a peace began to settle in. Then, as I was looking for a scripture in Psalms, I ran across another one I had read often. Psalms 68:5 - A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. I remember reading that one several times before, but I had never continued on. Vs 6 says "God sets the lonely in families."
I remember the joy that came over me as I realized that that day, God was placing Jia in a family, because that's what He does. He sets the lonely in families. I just knew that all was well and as it should be! From then on, things went so smoothly and perfectly!
You can re-visit our last post before getting Jia here.
