……holding up his hands until sunset.
This week has been a struggle. A struggle to continue, with joy, the race that God has set before us. We know He is still with us and continues to keep our precious Analise in His loving arms.
Sometimes, when going through struggles, you do grow weary and tired. Tired of all that surrounds your circumstance. Our circumstance happens to be adoption. But we are not the only faith believers to grow tired.
In the book of Exodus you will find a man by the name of Moses. A man charged with leading an entire nation. He was forced to do this: “Call the Israelites to Arms!” He new that God wasn’t going to just swoop down and cast the Amalekites aside. This is what he said:
Exodus 17:9 “Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands. 11 As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning. 12 When Moses' hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held his hands up—one on one side, one on the other—so that his hands remained steady till sunset. 13 So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army with the sword.
Our adoption of Analise has been a wonderful process. We continue to be at peace but like any parent we are ready for our child to be home and resting in her own bed.
We ask you to “join arms” with us, in faith, believing for the release of Analise from PGN. You all have been our Aaron and Hur. Keeping our arms lifted when we have grown tired. You have kept us steady and we are looking forward to finishing the race with all of you by our sides.
Matthew 18:19
"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.”
