A lost love

We have been looking forward to meeting a precious little boy from Russia for several months; however, we found out this week that the precious little boy that we as John Hudson will not becoming to America to become part of our family.  For these months, a love for this precious child has been growing in our hearts.  What a disappointment and a void that has left in our entire families life and heart even though we have never met him. 


We never want to question God and our prayer has always been that God would open every door for the child He has for Neil and Stephanie.  Sometimes, when God closes the door we cannot understand.  This is certainly one of those times.  We have so much to offer this precious child, but in the end God's plan is always best.  We as a family are trying to keep our eyes on Him and not the loss and disappointment we are feeling right now.


After all, we know He has a child that He has chosen especially for Neil and Stephanie and until we are able to meet and love that child we are trusting our Lord to pave the way and open only those doors that will lead to that special child.  We have so much love to shower upon him and so many things to teach him.  First and foremost is about a loving God who opened the doors necessary to bring him to America to a loving family who wants to share the love of Jesus with that precious child.
