We are now about 2 months out from being able to start our paperwork, and as eager as we are to get things started, we are trying to be still, and use this waiting phase to pray over our sweet girl. We would love for you guys, as our "village," to join us in lifting up Penelope. Here are a few specifics we are asking God for. . .
1) If the timing that the agency told us works out, Penelope is either in her mommy's tummy, or has just recently been born. So we are praying for her mom, that whatever situation she is in that is leading her to put her little one in the orphanage that God would give her peace and comfort in that decision. 2) We are praying that everything goes smoothly with the paperwork, and that there would be no complications. 3) We are praying for all of the ladies who run the orphanage. We are asking that God would give them the abundance of energy and strength they need to care for so many babies. We also ask that God's love would pour through them, and they would have the desire to go the extra mile and love on the babies as much as they can! 4) We pray for Penelope's health, and that she would get the care she needs for any medical issues she may have. 5) We pray that she would feel safe and comforted from the ladies caring for her, and that she would feel a bond to those women. 6) And we are praying that God would already start preparing her heart to be a part of our family! "The Lord says 'I will guide you along the best pathway for you life. I will guard you and watch over you.'" Psalm 32:8 It is our desire that God would already give us such an overwhelming love for this precious girl. The more I pray that, the more I think about Parker and Paisley Jane, and how I would feel if they were across the world from me for months upon months. That thought makes my heart ache, and knowing that God has another daughter for me that is thousands of miles away is starting to give my heart that same ache. I am so thankful for this, because it leads me to pray for her on a daily basis! It gives us such comfort to know that God is close to her, and already has a plan in place to unite us with Penelope Joy! Thank you so much for joining us in praying for her! We know it is going to impact her life in an eternal way!
