In my weakness to pray for these kids that we know nothing except for 2 pages of info about….
I suddenly felt a great sense of privilege as I thought of a passage that explains this so well. I would love to be wrong but I’m pretty sure no one else in the world is sitting in bed praying for _, _, & _ or praying for _ & _ or for little _. With the exception of people praying “Lord help the orphans” or our agencies daily prayer time for the kids that are placed in their hands to advocate for these kids are NEVER PRAYED FOR. Maybe not on a daily basis, depending on home situations, but I know for a fact that our teachers pray for their kids, I know for a fact that my friends pray for their own children, I know that people at church are lifting up their children to the Lord on a daily basis. I realized that these kids I’m around get prayed for! We are blessed to go to a great church, I work in an awesome Christian school, I am around many Christian families and friends on a daily basis. I turned to Nick and said Hey I think I’ve figured out why I can keep thinking of things to pray for for these kids (not just this sibling group but other kids too) “You are praying so much for them right now because no one else has before.”
Weird to explain but I immediately felt the Holy Spirit say quietly to my heart… Pray she knows that she looks different for a reason and that She was made in God’s imageįinally after laying there and feeling I was going to fall asleep from being tired of praying (sad I know) I had this sense of calmness… like Hey I’m done for right now. Pray for his artistic side to explode and him enjoy being creative Some were so specific (some I cannot share due to confidentiality promised to their government) Honestly they were coming to fast into my mind that I had a hard time keeping up with what to pray for. On and on I couldn’t get my mind to calm down with things I felt specifically I should be praying for them for. Pray for her to know that she is cherished Pray that they don’t give up hope of a family Pray that someone will show them Jesus and teach them about him Pray for their paperwork that it is translated correctly Pray for the government as they decide who their future family will be Pray for their extended family who can’t care for them Pray for them to know someone is coming for them (maybe us maybe not)
Lord show their future family who they areĪs we said our amen together I still laid there and couldn’t shut my mind up! Holy Spirit don’t you want me to get a good night sleep! I hear: Lord give patience to the workers keeping them Lord help them deal with “fill in the blank” As I re-researched on WebMD and Mayo Clinic all the huge long medical words that I did not go to school for… which side note: no matter how many times you look up medical conditions they always change when you look at individual kids…crazy cool how complex our bodies are that God made!Īnyway…my point in writing this was to share this beautiful realization we had! That feeling when you have been trying to describe something and WINNER finally are able to put it into words! Halleluiah! As we prayed for these kids we laid in bed and I just could not stop thinking of things to pray over them: Last week we were looking over the files of a sibling group.
We have immediately known that some are not ours but still we want to pray for them.

We pray that God will give us that “there they are” moment when we first hear of them or see them in a pdf file that will most likely come at some random hour of the day and lead me to jumping out of my chair and my co-workers laughing at me. So as we count in Spanish or English or the exciting mix of both a.k.a Spanglish that I am ever so excited to hear echoing down my halls (yes that’s in the dictionary-Spanglish-I checked!) As we contemplate over kiddo’s files we also pray. It sounds like we are coming along, and we are, but don’t let me fool you, although God’s timing is perfect and he knows when and for who exactly we will be in Colombia for, we still have a long way to go! But it’s definitely progressing well!
Uno dos tres cuatro update#
To update you: We are done with our home study, about half way done with our dossier and are waiting to hear from USCIS (US Immigration) for approval of our family as we speak. I pray he continues to make this known daily to me and my family. Let me first begin by saying we are in the hands of a Mighty God. Uno Dos Tres Quatro Cinco… This is how we would count in Spanish to begin to number the children that we have been receiving files on lately.
