I proceeded to look on the websites and I began to question if this could really be what the Lord desires. Then I received this message from the Lord:
"See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks". Hebrews 12:25
"Hear and pay attention, do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken...If you do not listen, I will weep in secret". Jeremiah 13:15
It became clear to me at that moment that the Lord was definitely calling us to adopt this little girl.
A few days later, the doubt began to creep in once again and I asked the Lord for a message and confirmation. He spoke to me in a devotional calendar for the day. This is what He said:
"God places dreams and visions in the hearts of His people; they begin as little seeds. So we become "pregnant" with the things God speaks and promises. Satan works hard to try and get us to abort our dreams. One of the tools he uses is doubt; another is unbelief. Both of these work against the mind.
"Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him". Mark 11:23
You and Mark's faith is so amazing. What a wonderful example to try to follow.
