Our Help and Our Shield

I am praying through the Psalms as we wait. There is still no word on travel dates. Tomorrow marks seven weeks since dossier submittal. September 3rd marked nine months since we said good bye to Irina at the airport. We do have reports from a fellow adoptive Momma that Irina definitely remembers us and is anxious to see us. She knows we are coming for her. Irina even colored us a picture and sent it back with the adoptive mom that got to see her in person! Precious!

We are praying for you my sweet daughter! The God who created heaven and earth with a word, knows exactly when we will see you again. We can trust Him for "he is faithful in all he does." Help my heart to believe it!!

"For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. 
The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.

By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters of the sea into  jars; he puts the deep into storehouses. 
Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world rever him. 
For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded and it stood firm. 
The Lord foils the plans of the nations; he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.
From the heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind; 
from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-
he who forms the hearts of all, who considers everything they do.
No kind is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.
A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save.
But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love, 
to deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine.

We wait in hope for the Lord; for he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. 
May your unfailing love rest upon us O Lord, even as we put our hope in you." Psalm 33
