So lately, the little girl I met on Christmas on the Streets (you can see that story in December 26th post) has really been on my heart an mind. After praying about it, I felt like I needed to do something about this. I considered asking Corina if we could track the little girl down, then chickened out, telling myself that that would be too much work for them. But God kept pressing me, reminding me to listen to His promptings. So, I gathered my courage and sat down to ask Corina. As soon as I mentioned that little girl, she told me she'd been wanting to go back out to the streets for a while now and was planning to go out friday night (tomorrow), and if we didn't find her, we'd keep going out until we did! Well, I have to say, I never thought I would have the chance to even know her name or see her again, but the Lord put her on my heart for a reason. Lets see what He has in store!

This is what I read today: Philippians 1:9-11
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ- to the Glory and Praise of God."
Wow eh?
That we may abound more and more in our love. That our love for others will grow and mature more and more as we gain more insight and knowledge of the true source of love. That we may be pure and blameless when Christ returns. What else could we want. All through Jesus Christ for the Glory of God that all may praise him. This all comes from love. A love that does not stay stagnant, but continues to grow into maturity as we look upon the love of the Almighty. My prayer is that I will constantly seek to learn how to love better, deeper and purer and never be satisfied to stay where I am.

Well, the past few weeks have been hectic to say the very least. The adoption of baby Keidy taking up all of our time. With Corina and Heidi at lawyers offices, hospitals and running around trying to get all the paperwork settled, I stayed at Corina's and took care of little Keiden. I enjoyed spending more time with him. He's a really neat little kid. But.. on the other end, problem after problem arose. And yet the Lord opened door after door. Showing that this was His will and only he could be behind this adoption. After two weeks of little sleep or rest on Corina and Heidi's part they received terrible news. The birth mother decided that she was going to take the baby home with her and cancel the adoption. After she promised this baby to the Lord, she took it back. It was a disappointing time for all of us. Prayer is needed for this baby as there is no financial way that the birth mom can take care of her with her 4 other kids. Suddenly a bright future for this baby has turned into a dark and uncertain one.

God is good! Both mother and baby are healthy. The adoptive family bonded well with their new baby girl, Keidy Grace. After meeting her for the first time, though, they had to leave her there, at the hospital because there were some paperwork issues to be worked out. These next couple of days will be stressful, so please keep them all in your prayers.
