Hello all! I don't even know how to write this post. It has been a day...the kids had a rough day of constant disobedience and ultimately deep grieving for the loss of the orphanage and the familiar. We battled, prayed, declared who they are, worshipped, and loved on them when they let us. It has been exhausting but praying that the plans of the enemy are defeated in the name of the Lord! Sweet moments came from the children we least expected: M.E. asking her brother to obey, T dancing and trying to sing praises & lift her hands with me, T wanting me at bedtime instead of E and keeping a death grip on my hand, speaking over a screaming M.E. at nap and telling her she is wanted. Jj has the pink eye like stuff today and has been a bit miserable. Don't think it's as bad as j had which I am grateful for. Continuing to declare joy over us and know that He who promised is faithful and will complete us in the end. Counting the days until Lima...

Sorry it was a tough one! You guys are prayer warriors though! You have probably done this, but I would suggest praying to break any unhealthy soul ties they might have with the orphanage and people there, and even with E as far as them seeing her as a parental figure. Praying that as they grieve the loss, it will be in a healthy way, that while they will of course miss places and people, they will understand that their source of safety, provision, and belonging comes from the Lord, through you. I'm so amazed at the progress you're making! You're doing the right things and it shows.
As hard as this is, God chose you for this. Rest in that...even in the difficulty of it, He made you for this moment.
Still thinking of you all and praying for you! Sounds like progress is happening! ♥️ To you all!
