It is not very often that one quotes verses from Habakkuk. Most probably have to look in the table of contents to see where Habakkuk is located in the Bible. (That would be page 785 in my Bible) However, a few weeks ago a sweet friend sent me this verse.
But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient. For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day. Habakkuk 2:3
(bold, italicized added).
I have read and re-read this verse many times in the last few weeks. What a precious reminder to our family that God's plan for us will not be late by a single day. Rarely, is His timing our timing but His timing is ALWAYS perfect.
As we WAIT for the implications of the recent changes with MOWA and Ethiopian adoption to be 'lived out', we hope in God. We pray that He is with our child/ren and their birth family; that He is sovereign over all the paperwork and that all documents will be correct. Our home is ready. Our hearts are more than ready! May God continue to grant us grace and mercy as we slowly, steadily, surely wait for the time that the vision He put in our hearts will be fulfilled.
