Brett, where in the world are you?

As it turns out, not in Liberia.

In his heart a man plans his coarse, but the Lord determines his steps. John 14:18

As we learned more facts about the US Embassy in Liberia and the reasons for the change in policies, it became clear that we had a big decision to make. We could stay or we could go. Torn, we sought wise counsel and we prayed for the Lord to determine our steps. Since we had not been matched with a Liberian child yet, and some other information we're not sharing here, we withdrew our request for a child in Liberia.

We are sad. But we can't help but believe God is working to bring Brett home even now.

Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning. Psalm 30:5

So, where in the world is Brett? Buckle up! This could be a wild ride!

  1. Oh, Joy... this is BIG news! I know God will lead you EXACTLY where He wants you. We started out down two different roads toward two other countries before God made it very clear that our son was in Liberia.
    I am so glad that I have had the opportunity to "meet" you through Acres of Hope and I am looking forward to following along on this journey as you seek the Lord to discover where Brett is.

    Will you keep this blog? I would LOVE to continue to get updates and pray with you and rejoice with you when you discover who your son is...

    With love,
    Amber

  3. Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).

  4. I am sure that this was a difficult decision, but you are asking God in prayer what steps you need to make, and that is great! I pray that he will reveal his plan for you soon.
