Orphans of God

There is a song that plays through my head from time to time. I can still remember the first moment I ever heard it and how the feeling of sheer "awe" was so overpowering. I fell in love with the lyrics right then and have been singing it in my heart ever since. It speaks to me now more then ever with the prospect of adopting becoming more real. I hope you as well will hear the song and be mesmerized.

"Orphans of God" by Avalon

Who here among us has not been broken
Who here among us is without guilt or pain
So oft' abandoned by our transgressions
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

Chorus:
There are no strangers
There are no outcasts
There are no orphans of God
So many fallen, but hallelujah
There are no orphans of God

Come ye unwanted and find affection
Come all ye weary, come and lay down your head
Come ye unworthy, you are my brother
If such a thing as grace exists
Then grace was made for lives like this

Chorus

O blessed Father, look down upon us
We are Your children, we need Your love
We run before Your throne of mercy
And seek Your face to rise above

Blessings,

Lea

Waiting

We are eagerly awaiting a phone call that could change our lives forever. Sam and I were recently contacted on Tuesday by our adoption agency about two little girls who need a new home. It seemed so perfect that it happened to be the seventh month since starting our own adoption journey. Of course we gladly accepted the offer if we qualified for such a quick adoption. I tried to gather all our paper work together and sort out what still needed to be done. Sam stayed up most of the night writing to one dad from a potential other. It was short but certainly sincere and heart felt. We didn't go to bed until almost three in the morning but we didn't care. Sam and I are thrilled at even being a possible candidate for this adoption. We are praying so hard for the Lord's will to be done even if that means we are not selected. We pray these girls will receive the family best suited for them and likewise that we will finally meet the children intended for us. Please be in prayer with us about this opportunity and our agencies heavy decision.

Blessings,

Lea
