One Last Post

Habakkuk 2:2-3 "And the Lord answered me: "Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it. For still the vision awaits the appointed time; it hastens to the end--it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay." A sweet friend from college e-mailed me this verse several months back and it has been one I have meditated on and found great encouragement in. The vision He has given us awaits its appointed time and is completely in our sovereign Lord's hands. As we sit right now, we are expecting a referral very soon. The Lord's timing is perfect. As I opened my devotional this morning it gave me the verse Deuteronomy 33:12. This is a blessing that Moses spoke over the tribe of Benjamin. It stood out to me at first because Ben is the name (for now) that we plan on giving our future family member. "Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for he shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between his shoulders." And then it sank in.... I know our son could very likely be born already and these verses are my desire for him. That he would rest secure in the Lord. That the Lord would shield him all day long and that he would rest between the shoulders of our strong and mighty Abba Father. We covet your prayers and humbly ask that you would pray this blessing over our future child. Thank you for the prayers you have already prayed, the encouraging words that have been spoken and for helping to spur us on to run towards the vision He has given us. We want to continue to keep our friends and family up to date with where we are in the process, but for many reasons, we have decided to find other ways to do that. This will be our last blog entry but not the end of the story that God is writing in our lives. Scarlett
