Joy Joy Joy

I have joy in my heart for our friends who are in Russia right now and are finally bringing their son home after a more than two year journey.. They have been through an incredibly hard adoption process with many curve balls along the way. Throughout the process they have been so determined, faithful and patient. For those of us cheering them on, they have been true role models. We all tend to want things to work out our way on our time. Sometimes God has other plans. He tells us it is his time and his way and that we should be faithful servants and prayerfully wait. Our friends have been through a storm but they never gave up on their son (when it would have been very easy to do so) they persisted and prayed knowing that God would not fail them. And of course he did not.

I was fortunate enough to see some pictures of them with their new son. He is precious. Can't wait for Bryant to meet him. As I looked at the pictures, tears were flowing as I was singing in my head "I've got JOY in my heart."
