So Far to Find You

So Far to Find You
by the Casting Crowns

You were broken, abandoned
And crying all alone
We were waiting and praying
And longing to bring you home
And then we saw your face
In a moment you were wrapped up in our hearts
We took a step of faith
And now here we are
Will you let me hold you in my arms tonight
I have come so far to find you
So far to find you
Will you take my love and give up the fight
I have come so far to find you
So far to find you
From a world away, I journeyed
Just to hold your hand
You will never be alone again
I’ve come so far to find you
So far to find you
You were fighting and fearful
You were hiding your heart away
But I was trying so hard to show you
‘Cause there were no words that I could say
If you could see my heart
You would know that all I want to do
Is care for you
Will you let me hold you in my arms tonight
I have come so far to find you
So far to find you
Will you take my love and give up the fight
I have come so far to find you
So far to find you

Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish it's work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:2-4

Presidential Dispensation Prayer

Our family would appreciate everyone praying this specific prayer, starting now until this is done.

"Father God, please have Haiti's President or one of his administrators sign the Cunningham family's Presidential Dispensation today."

We have been praying this prayer daily since September 13th, when we learned we had been approved by IBESR.

Presidential Dispensation is a big step, perhaps the biggest step in the process. Put simply, we need the office of the President of Haiti to sign a waiver that allows our adoption to be finalized. Once this is done, we will only need a couple of parquet court signatures and the girls will be considered ours in the eyes of the Haitian government.

Thank you for the prayers!

Have faith in God, Jesus answered. Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:22-24

Having known these two families for many years has made this day extra special for me. They are all such wonderful people and so deserving of the blessings of this day. Their three beautiful girls come from the same orphanage as my two girls. And their coming home gives me renewed faith that one day my girls will come home too!

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor God's righteous cause. Let them say continually, Great is the Lord, who delights in the prosperity of His servants. Psalms 35:27
