Music Monday...again!

This is the One We Have Waited For

 

A refuge for the poor

A shelter from the storm

This is our God

And He will wipe away your tears

And return your wasted years

This is our God

A father to the orphan

A healer to the broken

This is our God

And He brings peace to our madness

And comfort in our sadness

This is our God

First, let me say I have been remiss at posting - 3 WEEKS since I've posted! Sorry :(

Onward...I love this song, I love the words...when I sing "this is the One we have waited for," I know that I AM waiting for Him. He fulfills the longings we have within us, whether we are poor, in the midst of a storm, if we are orphans, widow, in chaos, etc.

I just watched a video this weekend about a family who never intended on adopting...their son said he had prayed for a family...needless to say, God answered his prayers! How many kids are praying for families and waiting on us to be God's answer to a prayer? I look forward to chaos of being an answered prayer. I say "chaos" because I am not naive enough to believe it will be all smooth sailing, but life is full of waves and storms...we just have to trust Him to be our shelter.

Music Monday

Boys become kings, girls will be queens

Wrapped in Your majesty

When we love, when we love the least of these

Then they will be brave and free

Shout your name in victory

When we love, when we love the least of these

I love this song! The first time I heard these lyrics I started crying. The thought of helping a couple boys from another country become kings (hmmmm...maybe helping girls become queens, if that's what God wants) is truly amazing. Alan and I really feel that adopting from another country is SAVING A LIFE; we won't be just giving kids a better life, but a chance at life. Some people will not understand this, I know. People have already politely suggested adopting from the US, or Montana. I have no problems with anyone adopting from the US, but for us, God has guided our heart internationally. We feel that if we get to "choose" our children, that we will follow His lead, and right now, Ethiopia is our starting point.
