So I have finally returned from my fog of confusion and sadness. The last 2 weeks have been frought with much anguish. I have really been dealing with alot of emotions surrounding Keziah's adoption and her past. Thank you Mary Jane, Becky, Kasie, Krista, Jennifer, & Anna (and anyone else who held me and/or prayed for me while I sobbed uncontrolably over the last few weeks) I have felt heartbreak for Ethiopia in particular as I think about the circumstances that Ethopian families in general face. If a family were in the same situation in the US (no food, no medical care, no jobs, poor housing, death of a parent) we have a safty net for those families so that they can (if they choose) stay together (Medicade, food stamps, unemployment, etc). I have really come to peace with what God has decided is Keziah's path. Before God even created the world He had destined for her to be born in Ethiopia and then come to us. While her early life was disrupted by pain and sorrow, God has a plan...a plan of magnificant blessing...that we were chosen to be a part of.
Lord, I thank you for Keziah Webitu and that you have chosen us to care for her. We are honored to be a part of her life. Please protect her heart as she is away. Let her know that we love her. Please prepare her heart for us. I thank you for your guidance in finding our little girl please continue to work in our own hearts and minds preparing us for her arrival! Thank you, Lord, for your blessings are overflowing
Amen
