Overwhelmed

Today I was reflecting on all God is doing and has done for us throughout this adoption.  All of it is so clearly His hand on this, making provision each and every step of the way.  We've faced challenges and bumps in the road, but always, His presence has been very clear through it all.  I heard this song on the radio today and it so perfectly sums up how I feel:

Overwhelmed-by Big Daddy Weave

I see the work of Your Hands
Galaxies spin in a Heavenly dance oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming

I hear the sound of Your Voice
All at once it’s a gentle and thundering noise oh God
All that You are is so overwhelming

I delight myself in You
Captivated by Your beauty
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

God, I run into Your arms
Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

I know the power of Your Cross
Forgiven and free forever You’ll be my God

All that You’ve done is so overwhelming
I delight myself in You
In the Glory of Your Presence
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

God, I run into Your arms
Unashamed because of mercy
I’m overwhelmed, I’m overwhelmed by You

You are Beautiful, You are Beautiful
Oh God, there is no one more Beautiful
You are Beautiful, God you are the most Beautiful

You are Wonderful, You are Wonderful
Oh God, there is no one more Wonderful
You are Wonderful, God You are the most Wonderful

You are Glorious, You are Glorious
Oh God, there is no one more Glorious
You are Glorious, God you are the most Glorious 

 

I find myself doubting, wondering, and worrying often at this point in the process, and then I remember Him.  He is in this with us.  He has ordained all of it.  He won't desert us now!

 

Praise God for all He has done to get us so far.  We are sooooooooooo close to having our adoption fully funded.  We are soooooooooooo close to holding our daughter in our arms.  It is overwhelming.  HE is overwhelming and we want always to praise Him for what He has done for us!  Praise God for getting us here.

 

Oh, and P.S.

Our Article 5 dropped today  at the US Consulate in China.  In approximately two weeks it will be picked up and we will be waiting on TA.  The best part of the Article 5 process?  At some point in the next two weeks we should get an update on our precious girl including final measurements and a couple more photos.  Would you pray that update comes soon?  This mama's heart is so desperate to "see" her Hannah again it almost physically hurts.  I simply CAN NOT WAIT!
