Have you prayed for something for a long time, and it is finally given to you with lavish generosity? And you are in awe of God’s attention to detail. And then automatically you feel like you have arrived, and you feel responsible to take over the project…
As we were fretting over Jaclyn’s heartache every night when we say goodbye, feeling that God is dropping the ball just in the last minute of the game, I suddenly remembered that God has been faithful throughout seasons of confusion or helplessness. Now it’s just a matter of perception. We have prayed that God would reassure Jaclyn’s mind and heart that mommy and daddy love her and will take her home soon. So why would we stop now?
The journey is beginning in earnest, but just in a different light. We learn to trust and walk by faith in every season. No experience is wasted or useless. I remembered and I have had such peace the last two days, and the best days yet with Jaclyn, after experiencing the lowest point on Monday.
