The journey continues....

Isaiah 40:31 (King James Version)
31But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint

When I read this scripture my littlest angel came to mind. Her name is Heaven and I wrote about her in an earlier blog (The joy of Knowing Heaven). My husband and I have been in her life now for almost two years as her guardian. In these years there have been many joyous moments, tearful moments and sometimes frightening.
However, as we waited on the Lord he has renewed us for this season.

Yesterday, things transpired legally that will bring a change. Heaven is one step closer to the permanency and the stability a child needs. In the natural it looked pretty scary but we're walking by faith not by sight. This child is covered by the shed blood of the Lamb. God uses who he wants to bring things to pass. So now we wait patiently, we walk upright not downtrodden. The prophecy given is unfolding. This child has a purposed filled life. No devil in hell can change that fact. Heaven will possess the promises of the Father. We hold fast to this belief.

We can run the course in faith. We have faith that God is Sovereign. My husband and I knew that this would be a journey, we knew it would be a process. On this journey we have encountered numerous others. Some prayed with us, some spoke against us. Nevertheless, we knew this would be a journey and that requires endurance! It requires a high level of faith, patience and vision.
We also knew that spiritually this journey had a purpose. The Father continues to renew, he continues to give us strength in this process. We believe that the ending of this thing will bring glory to His name. Heaven is God's own, he loves her and carried her thus far.
