No longer forsaken

Pat and Kim Weber and their newly adopted baby Hadassah, at hotel lobby

For those of you have been following the story of my friends Pat and Kim Weber in Florida who adopted the baby girl from China, they arrived safely home with Hadassah on Christmas Eve 2009 about midnight, praise the Lord!  Thank you SO much to all of you who were praying for them.  Hadassah slept seven of the 11 hours coming home on the plane flights, praise God, and she has bonded very quickly with Pat’s and Kim’s three children at home! 

When it is 3 p.m. in the U.S., it is about 4 a.m. in China, so Hadassah’s days and nights are mixed up right now, and Pat and Kim are still tired from their long trip to China. Please pray that Hadassah would adjust quickly to the time change, for God to restore Pat’s and Kim’s strength, and for financial provision for Pat and Kim to repay the loan they borrowed for the adoption.

I am SOOOOO excited over this miraculous adoption and just can’t praise Jesus enough – oh, our God is good! Pat, Kim, and their children are very happy and are thankful to God and to all who prayed for them.  The children adore Hadassah, and are such big helpers.  This precious little girl, whose own parents abandoned her as a baby in the streets of China, now has a home in America where she will be taken  excellent care of, loved, and protected by two loving, godly parents and three adoring siblings. This is truly the heart of our God! 

Our God is a BIG God who answers prayers!  He hears our voice as we pray. Don’t stop praying!   Prayer with faith in Christ WORKS!

“For Zion’s sake, I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will name.  You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. You shall no longer be termed Forsaken, Nor shall your land any more be termed Desolate; But you shall be called Hephzibah (My Delight is in her), and your land Beulah (Married); for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, So shall your sons marry you, and as the bridgegroom rejoices over you, So shall your God rejoice over you.”  (Isaiah 62:1-5, NKJV)
