The Walls Will Crumble!

Our Bible story was Joshua and the battle of Jericho.  It's such an amazing story of faithfulness, obedience, and miracles.  We read it and talked to the kids about how the people did exactly what God said.  They marched around the city, around the big fortress walls.  They marched and waited and marched and waited.  The people inside laughed at them.  It didn't make sense just to march.  A waste of time.  Silly nonsense.  But God had told them to march, so they marched.  They were obedient, and then it was time.  God told them when to shout, and they shouted!  They didn't know what would happen, but they had been holding it all in for seven days.  When it was time, they shouted.  Our faithful, powerful God responded to their cry, and the walls crumbled to dust.  The walls that stood between God's people and the promise he had for them - crumbled.  How awesome!
And again, it was God who worked on their behalf.  They didn't hit the walls.  They didn't charge.  They shouted.
God said shout.  They shouted.  God crumbled the walls.

We explained to our kids how important it is to allow God to lead us.  He tells us what and when.

We have been praying for miracles for our sweet little girl.  We have been praying miracles for all children who are lonely and waiting.
We believe.
We believe with all of our hearts, because God's will is that no one is an orphan.  He wants all of us to "dwell in the land He has promised".  Joshua followed God and led God's people, and God was faithful to their obedience and to His promise.

We went on to pray as we always do, holding our prayer cross for our girl.  That night we prayed again for miracles, and we used that story of God's faithfulness to pray.
We prayed for the walls to crumble!!!  The walls of government!  The walls of paperwork!  Everything that stands between our daughter and us!  We told God we will keep marching.  We will march and march until it's time to shout.  Praise God!  One day we are going to shout!  The walls are going to crumble!  My daughter will come home!  Because He is mighty to save! - Zeph. 3:17  


Adoption is long; it's confusing.  But my God is faithful and mighty, and He works MIRACLES.
We have marched since February 2013 and we will march until she is home.  

Please pray with us!!

The walls will crumble!
