No new news to share. We're still waiting on a travel date. I did want to share something I read in a devotional provided by Shaohannah's Hope foundation. They are short devotions, but very powerful. I think if you inquire on their website, they will send you one. This is from Scott Hasenbalg:
"Adoption is costly. Whether in the realm of finances, emotions, relationships, time, or effort, adoption will cost. But think of what it cost God, and yet He was willing to undergo that cost. And not simply undergo it, but to undergo it with joy! It gave Him pleasure!...In our world of risk-averse, safety-first, immediate gratification, we often lose sight of the truth that some endeavors are worth the cost...Jesus came to be a ransom for many (Matt 20:28) and if God was willing to pay that ransom for us, how much more will He be willing to lead us in ransoming His beloved children form their state as orphans? And it is His love that compels us onward in obedience whatever the cost, for He who calls us is faithful."
Ephesians 1:5,7 "God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself through Jesus Christ...and it gave Him great pleasure...He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His Son."
love, Jenny
