We have had a conversation with our Ugandan boys which I never thought would happen. Eddie's mom (not the older 3's mom) has changed her mind with the adoption and wants him to stay in Uganda at the orphanage. Through our prayers, lawyer, and input from others who we trust as being in the family of Christ we are continuing on with our first adoption of the older three boys. For fear of saying to much about the whole story, we don't have any other options. God has a plan which will be incredible. We have met great opposition, but as stated below I'm sure we are on His path and He will prevail through all of this. Below is a post from a Pastor we had in Hawaii.
S.O.A.P.
March 31: Judges 9-10; Psalm 49; 1Corinthians 16
Opposition
Scripture: 1Corinthians 16:8 But I will stay on at Ephesus until Pentecost,
9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.
9 because a great door for effective work has opened to me, and there are many who oppose me.
Observation: Opposition is not a sign that one should quit. Opposition may be a sign that God is at work and the enemy does not like it!
Application: When I am doing what God has called me to do, I should not be surprised if I find opposition. Opposition is not a reason to quit. Opposition gives God opportunity to do something that only He can do. And when He does what only He can do, I get the blessing and He gets the glory! I can rejoice when I see opposition. It can be a sign to me that God is preparing to do something special.
Prayer: Lord, I set my heart not to get discouraged when facing opposition. I believe you will work through the opposition for my good and for your glory! Amen.
Pastor Leon
Making friends for time and eternity!
