My husband and I put in to adopt 2 sisters about 2 months ago. They are beautiful little ones and are so eager to have someone love them and accept them. We have found out that they are most likely kin to my husband, like 2nd or 3rd cousins. Even if that was not the case, we would have still applied as we prayed for months and felt like it was what God wanted us to do. After 2 months we have not heard anything about a home study or a study update or anything and was beginning to think the rumors flying around were true that they girls would be going out of county for adoptions. We would of course be hurt and saddened but we really just want what is best for the girls. Since it had been so long, I called this week to find out some truths about the situation. We have not heard any of the truth from the rumors (rumors seldom have any truth in them) and even figured out that some dirt is being spread about us which is not even close to the truth.
That hurts, especially considering the source of the dirt. To trust someone and lean on someone and now to have that just thrown away for nothing. All of the dirt is for nothing. They are not even considering adopting the girls so they literally have nothing to gain. And yet it has not stopped them. It truly takes the wind out of you when people treat you like this. However, we are to have no fears. Lies always catch up to people, dirty doings are always dealt with and so is unrighteousness. They have nothing to lean on until they repent and yet we have everything as long as we standfast in our faith and trust in our wonderful Lord. We may never know here on Earth why things happen, and truth be known when we get to heaven we will no longer care about all of that. One day there will be no burdens, no troubles, no gossip, no lies, no backstabbing, no pain.
Until that glorious day, we will continue to pursue God's will. God will put everything right as long as we continue to pray, read and trust in Him. So, no dirt coming from here. No half truths either. We will only continue to praise God everyday for everything he has done for us and even for those things we really wishes for but God knew we never really needed. I praise God for his wisdom in all things concerning us.
Psalm 56:1-4
1) Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. 2) Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High. 3) What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. 4) In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
