The second farm also goes out and prays for rain. However, when he returns home, he begins to prepare his fields for the coming rain. Which farmer has faith?
I heard this story told recently in the movie "Facing The Giants" and I think it is kind of symbolic of where we are now in regards to the adoption. Today, I received an email from our adoption coordinator that contained 3 attached documents. They described some of the travel arrangements we need to make, costs associated with staying in Russia and things to bring to the U.S. embassy.
Just reading through them makes the hair on my skin stand up. There is excitement in the air as we begin to prepare our home and the fields of our hearts for the fulfillment of prayers and God's will. This adoption is going to happen. The finances may not come early but they will certainly not be late either. So while we wait on God, we prepare.
