Thankfully I was raised in a home where the Bible was lived out and taught. Sometimes though the amazing stories in Genesis become more like fairy tales. It is wonderful when one of the stories come to life even though I am now 40 and rapidly graying.
Recently I read Psalms 105 in my devotional time. The Psalmist talks about how even though Joseph was sold into slavery-God had a plan. Years later, that same Joseph was 2nd in command in Egypt, was given the wisdom to collect grain during the good times, was able to provide food for his family during the promised famine and then provide a place for them to live and flourish. During all of this God was faithful. I knew the story but don't don't think I had ever put together the pieces like this.
What I learned is that God was faithful, is faithful and will be faithful! Joseph may not have seen it while in the bottom of the dry well or sitting in jail after being falsely accused. Yet God was faithful.
Jennifer and I do not understand what could lead to Abby being placed on the steps of an orphanage or why we were not able to have children. And yes, we are scared out of our minds and so excited that we are barely sleeping. Yet we know that God is moving and bringing us together. We know that God is in control and can't wait for the next few days to go by so we can get our daughter.
Please keep us in your prayers. Even more important-please pray for Abby. She is about to go through some crazy transitions.
