I guess it’s been a while since we’ve posted on the site, so we wanted to make sure everyone knew we were still alive and kicking. I was pondering whether an update is really an update if your update is to inform everyone that not much has happened, but it feels like a lot has happened!
We have seen God’s timing in ways that have strengthened my faith more than I can describe, which I hopefully can explain in more detail at a later point in time. But the waiting and unknown is still really hard. I’m reminded of David’s confidence in the middle of hard circumstances when he writes in Psalm 27:13-14:
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
So this is where my confidence stands, and where it has always stood, “in seeing the goodness of the Lord.” God is a good father and good fathers have good intentions for their children.
To end the update, we continue to stand strong in His goodness. Our only instruction in the verses is to “be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord,” so as of right now, that’s what we’ll do.
Many of you have let us know that you’re praying for us and continued to wear your shirts every time we see you. We appreciate your support and feel your prayers daily. We’ve also seen evidence of answered prayers, in BIG ways. Please continue to pray with us for our child, who God has already picked out, and our hearts, that we would be ready to unconditionally and unselfishly give our lives to.
Thanks guys and hopefully we’ll have more to come shortly :-)
Matt
