This latest visit to Guatemala has affected me in so many ways, emotionally, spiritually, and even physically.
If it would not be too much to ask, I am wondering if you all could set aside tomorrow morning (Monday) as a time of directed prayer for our case. Please pray that resolution comes this week, and that God delivers my kids and finally brings them home. Just bring God what is on your heart and He will carry it from there. A time of worship to our Most Holy God. The Father who hears and weeps with us.
I would truly appreciate it.
Since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.

22 Thoughts From My Readers:
God-bumps as I read your post. Will be an honor and a priviledge to join you tomorrow morning in prayer. Was it Elijah who kept sending a servant to look for the rain? I'll be watching with great anticipation to see the clouds of deliverance begin to form!!
I will be praying for you through the day. Praying for J and R and a resolution in the case and they are soon home wih you.
Love and hugs,
Deb
Oh honey! I can't even imagine. I know it is tenfold to what I described. It is so, so incredibly hard to have THEIR hearts hurting and not be able to fix it. I will be saying extra prayers and focusing them directly on your areas.
Yes ma'am.
I will.
I know you don't know me, but I will be praying. As I have watched you on this crazy journey I have learned so much about what faith really is. You have blessed me with your honesty and your desire to find God in all of this. I will lift your case up to HIM tomorrow and trust that He will take it from there.
Yes, of course!
You don't know me either, but I found your blog through another blog I read. I have been been profoundly shaken by your story and have been praying for you continually. I will be praying tomorrow morning. Sometimes there are simply no words.
I'll be praying for you! I've been reading your blog for a while, and I don't know the whole story, but I think I'm gathering that you've been unable to complete your adoption because Guatemala has suspended their adoptions? My heart aches for you and your children. I will be fasting for you tomorrow morning!
I will join you tomorrow in prayer. I can't fathom this journey you've been on. I've shared the prayer request (and link to your blog) on Facebook and our blog. Praying...
I will stop right now and offer up prayer on their/your behalf!
I am praying for you guys! I saw this link on Kat's Facebook page - the power of the prayer chain :)
You don't know me - I found your blog through another blog and have been following you for quite a while. I am lifting Ronaldo and Julia up to the Father this morning. I am praying for your family and for the officials who make decisions.
Praying for you guys my sweet friend. It is always a privilege to do so. Waiting with you always with hope and belief that whatever the reason God's hand will wrap those precious children and your entire family up in His loving, protective arms.
Love you,
Tammy
Praying!
We prayed this morning too. My children identify with J&R and struggle with the fact that J&R are still in Guatemala while they are both home. We asked that your family be together forever and that God place his hand on the hearts of J&R until then.
Praying again now.
Dawn, we have been and will continue praying for you and the children. It is so heartbreaking to see you and them going through this. In all honesty it hits very close to home because it could be us waiting. I look at our son and the tears flow as I think about him and R & J. Only the Lord has the answers to these questions. We do know that His plan is good and that He loves those little ones even more than you do. But, I still don't understand why this separation is good and I suspect we will never know on this side of heaven. Meanwhile I will earnestly pray for all of you.
I've read a book by Jerry Bridges that has helped me put some difficult things in my life into perspective. If you are interested in it just let me know and I can give you the name or lend you my copy.
"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:7
I pray that you experience this peace even though you don't understand.

Praying...you all have been on my heart lately and sending requests (begging) God to make the way for your children to finally come home. Hold onto HOPE.
God hears our sighing and groaning without words...my heart breaks for you all in this incomprehensible waiting. I'm praying (even if it's Tuesday). May God hold you and them close to Himself. "Pray continually..." -Lynn W.
Praying!!!
I found you through Kat's blog and will continue to pray. I understand just a glimpse of your pain and frustration. It took us two and a half years to get our son home from Guatemala and there are two girls still there that we have come to accept will only be daughters in our hearts. (They aren't eligible to be adopted because they have an aunt who visits once a year and won't allow it.)
I know how heartbreaking this can be when the children are older and love you already as their family. I'll be praying for favor with the CNA and for things to move quickly to bring them home.
Much Love,
Kathie
Praying for you!!!
Debbie
