It is the glory of God to conceal the matter

"It is a glorious thing to know that your father God makes no mistakes in directing or permitting that which crosses the path of your life. It is the glory of God to conceal the matter. It is our glory to trust Him, no matter what." Joni Eareckson Tada

Wow! How beautiful is that quote? And how appropriate it is to our adoption situation. God makes NO mistakes. He directs everything and permits everything that is put in front of us. He is choosing right now to conceal the matter of this adoption, He is choosing to conceal Kaylee right now. But it is MY glory and praise to trust Him no matter what. And when the time comes for her to be revealed, it will be for His glory. It is so hard to be patient and wait for God to act, but it is His commandment. Trust in the Lord with your whole being and lean not to your understanding for He will guide you all the way and lead you down the straight path. My God is a wonderful God, He is loving and compassionate. We are going through this valley right now so that we can learn to put our whole heart into our trust in Him. He will be given the glory when our baby is revealed. For He has already chosen her for us. She will be revealed soon.

He's just waiting until YOUR daughter is born. It's so cool when you think that He has already picked out YOUR daughter.

That is such a neat concept! Thanks for pointing it out in your post. God is really teaching us all a lot of different things through our journeys.

Thank you so much for posting this quote. I printed it out and put it on my computer screen at work so I can be reminded of it frequently. You have such a way of making me feel better. Erin Vollmer
