My soul
is weary with sorrow;
strengthen me
according to your word.
Psalm 119:28
The Call
So long I have waited
to finally get the call,
built up such anticipation
after climbing many a wall.
We saw our God move
mountains,
we watched Him part the
sea.
We saw money fall from
Heaven
for this adoption to really
be.
God's fingerprints were
evident
As He opened wide the door,
We never lacked a penny
And were even blessed with
more.
So many rallied around us,
and carried us in prayer,
We didn’t foresee this path,
yet we knew God led us
there.
Today when I saw who
called,
My heart completely skipped
a beat.
Was this the call we
awaited?
I could barely stay in my
seat!
I never could have imagined
what I was about to be
told.
Our petition to adopt
denied,
The words still seem so
cold.
After all of the hurdles we
jumped,
after passing each approval
we sought,
after giving our lives to
these children,
I never felt so distraught.
Could we send more
information?
Could we visit them like
we'd said?
Is there any way to appeal
this?
Now what lies ahead?
I’m overwhelmed with
confusion.
Do I grieve or do I fight?
I sit here speechless, in
utter shock,
Wishing this dark tunnel
had more light.
