these two people have been dear, sweet blessings to me this week. i met carin outside of a coffee shop on saturday morning last weekend when i was in antigua by myself (without the group... but not alone). i asked her if she was waiting for someone and she told me she was adopting a boy from guatemala and was waiting for the social worker. on monday she and Christian, her 3 year old son, moved to antigua to wait for the necessary paper work to go through. so since wednesday (today is friday) i have seen her and Christian for an hour or so between my classes. i have heard her beautiful story of God´s work in her life and in the life of her family, been blessed to play with and hold her sweet boy, and enjoy learning about the process she has been through to give this beautiful child a home.
his story is that he was left on the street by his mother or father when just a few days old. he was found and taken to an orphanage in Guatemala City where he has lived for the first 3 years of his life. he will soon be going to his new home near minneapolis, mn to join his new family.
... for He sets the lonely in families ...
what a beautiful picture of this promise.
