God,
Today I put up pictures of Kamri, Lucas, and Lilli in my office. Beautiful and happy children you have made. You have done a great thing by providing them a place in which they can be given shelter and food. You have provided them a place in our home and hearts. You have planted seeds of discontent with the suffering of people in Uganda - first with Linda and Jill, then with Blaine, and now with me. You used those relationships to bring us to this moment, this moment of advent, this moment of anticipation, this moment of standing at the edge of dark and light where we face the dark not knowing where this journey will lead us, but as we step into it the light overcomes the darkness and where we stepped by faith we now see with amazement the reconciliation of people unto You because of our obedience to Your calling, Your leading, Your love.
So, today I pray for a pathway to be made, for a road to be paved from families who await the opportunity to adopt through Promise Kids a Future in Georgetown, Kentucky USA and Noah's Ark Orphanage in Busia, Uganda. Obviously the first family to get this privilege will be us, and so I ask specifically God to make this happen within the next six weeks.
Jesus, you proclaimed that You would give us anything that we ask in Your name, and so I ask for these things in the name of Jesus of Nazarareth, Son of the Living God.
AMEN
