We Found Him :-)

God is good. I am daily reminded that His sovereign plans for our lives are just so much greater than I can fathom.

We got a call, out of the blue, the other night from a man we traveled over to Africa with when we all were adopting. He has been back to the compound 3 times since his initial trip. This time he was calling to let us know that he just got back and while he was there, had several talks with Sa. Since Sa left, I was in faith that God is bigger than me (yes, i had to keep reminding myself of that) and that he could care for Sa far better than I could... Then to find out that the same guy who adopted children at the same time as us, who has gone over several times, and who is going back in March, has had much contact with Sa - also has a link to us!!!! God has provided an advocate for Sa! Now, because of a lot of political stuff going on in the country now, i am not going to share what is going on...but know that Sa is okay. I use it as a relative term though. He is constantly being harassed for being "rejected" from the United States...let alone the day to day harassment because of his disability. The bottom line is, he is miserable there and there is not the best place for him, but God has provided someone to watch out for him...someone who is fighting on his behalf :-)

We are going to put together a small care package for Sa, if you would like to add a letter or a note of encouragement. I know that our friend will personally get it to Sa. I am unsure of when he is going, but if you want to send something...get it to me by the first week of March!!!

PS: We did get a glimpse of why they weren't replying to our emails or requests for information about Sa, but it is better left unsaid on an open forum...although i would love to shine the light on things done in the dark...i will leave that for God to do?
