Storm Clouds on the Horizon!

There are more woes then just Granny not showing up. The Haitian government is there own worst enemy (or maybe UNICEF is actually there worst enemy)! This is a repost from GLA's website tonight. Please pray. Also if you want some more info you can read Dixies blog about some of this. Click here.


from Tom Vanderwell at God's Littlest Angels (Feb 18, 2012):

Will you stop what you’re doing tonight or tomorrow, or whenever you actually open this and spend some time praying for the Haitian government and the status of adoptions in Haiti?
 
Specifically, please join us in fervent and consistent prayer:

• Pray that the Haitian government will not make any decisions regarding adoptions and the children in Haiti without consulting with the Association of Creché Directors.
• Pray that the orphanage directors will be able to consistently and fervently communicate the need of the children in Haiti for an adoption system that works well and reduces the time that children spend in an institutional setting.
• Pray that the Haitian government will not ratify the Hague Convention without taking the time to make sure that they have sufficient staff and resources to handle the increased requirements.
• Pray that UNICEF and IBESR will realize that adoption is an integral part of the overall plan to care for the children in Haiti who don’t have parents who can care for them.
• Pray that the children at GLA and the other orphans in Haiti won’t be damaged by pending changes in legislation in Haiti.
• Pray that people will rise up and speak on behalf of the orphans in Haiti and be a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves.

Does this sound discouraging?  Using a meteorology analogy (is that too many “ologies”), the storm cloud on the horizon has gotten significantly closer.  And the thunder is making a lot of noise right now.
 
But we know who is in control.   And we know what the end result will be.
 
Before I conclude this, I want to share two Bible verses that I think speak quite well to the gravity of the situation as we see it right now:
 
Jeremiah 29:11 (The Message) I know what I’m doing. I have it all planned out-plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.
 
Isaiah 1:17 (NIV) Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.

Thank you for praying.  Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing for the orphans in Haiti.  While I could tell you the names of many of our kids, I don’t know them all – but God does.  He loves them all and we need to continue to talk with our heavenly Father about their needs.
