This thought came to me yesterday as I was cleaning out my flower bed,I was kinda down since we had a not so good thing that happened yesterday on my dad's side of the family.I now realize after the lord give me this parable comparing the flowers and weeds to our lives and relation with god.
Comparing this to our relations with life and god,we all have to clean the weeds out daily so that our focus and relation with god can be clear.If we let our relationship go then weeds creep in and grow and get stronger,and we wonder sometimes why we don't see clear.It was after god revealed this to me that I had so much joy,peace and understanding. As I set this morning,it came to me that this revelation can go further. The children are the flowers just as we are.And the orphanage caretakers are plucking out the weeds as we wait to get our rosebuds. The weeds are things that the world causes: homelessness,lonliness,poverty,fatherless,motherless.But we as the families as we go on the journey of adoption, and as we go get each child we are cleaning and plucking out weeds of the child's life so they can grow in full bloom and have love ,and have a fulfilling life. The child will grow to be someone beautiful. I have never thought about it this way before,but I believe god wants us to know that we are clearing out the weeds that the world itself puts there,and we can only do this through his love,and guidance.
I can't wait till I see our picture of our little rose bud? I can't wait till we will plant wonderful memories in her life and what she will plant in ours!!!It is so exciting,isn't it?
Thank you god for speaking to my soul yesterday,for lifting me when I needed lifting and bringing this revelation in, more then 1 way.Praise the Lord.
Something that came to my husband last week was another revelation:
The lord has adopted us,he is our heavenly father,after we take on his name.And the sin was the orphanage,but we left it and now we have his name and we are his forever.Just as we are adopting a child,they are taking on our name and they are forever ours....how beautiful,the lord dropped this to my husband as we were driving down the road.We went to a couples house and he told our friends what god had showed him,the way he decribed it was so wonderful,I had tears in my eyes....I just had to share this with all of you and I hope it fills all of you with so much joy and peace as we all are patiently waiting,and also for those who have adopted,may the lord bless you all.....Happy Day!!!!!!

Thanks for opening your heart. It's good that you're hearing God speak during this difficult wait . . . and I love the song that played while I was reading.

Going through an adoption sure makes you appreciate and relate more to all the verses on our adoption in scripture doesn't it?! Hang in there and keep cherishing God's little blessings. :)
