A glimpse into our daughter's care

I have found myself awake the past few nights around 2 am.  Wide awake, my heart is burdened to pray for our daughter in Ethiopia and our family here.

I spent a good amount of time last night reading the Psalms.  I remember Kelly Williams, our pastor at Vanguard, talking about how he writes Scripture into his journal as a way of cementing those thoughts into his mind.

For the past few weeks (around 2 months actually), I have found myself praying for our daughter’s caregivers, specifically asking that she be held when crying and smiled at a lot.  As I  was reading, I came upon Psalm 33:14.

“from his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth-”

As I was reading blogs today, I came upon this one from a team who just returned from Addis. The team spent a day at the transitional home where our daughter it right now.  I read this from the blog and my heart immediately felt at ease.

“It was awesome to visit the home and meet all our staff. We have grown exponentially in our Ethiopia program and staff in Ethiopia, and it was wonderful to see and witness. We have sixty nannies on staff and four nurses ! There was not one time that a baby cried that it went unheld or tended to.”

God is watching from his dwelling place. He is taking care of our daughter.  My prayers continue to go forth as I wait and see the good things he has in store for our family.
