There are no words...

Clay and I got a phone call from our agency...the birth mom has changed her mind.  There are no words to describe how we feel right now.  We would appreciate your prayers.  We are not sure where to go from here...

Praise You In This Storm ~ Casting Crowns

I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.


And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away


I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth

  1. My parents went through this several times before they were able to adopt me. They believed then that God had a plan for them and that they would eventually find 'their' child. Personally, I'm SO grateful that they were unable to complete an adoption before me, because I could not imagine better parents. Your child will come, have faith, and I will pray for you both.
