My heart is so heavy for a friend of mine named Becky.

She has been waiting for over one year to bring her second son, Jonah, home through international adoption. Just like Joshua’s adoption, this adoption is proving to be an extreme roller coaster filled with many ups and downs.

Tuesday Becky received some very, very difficult adoption news concerning Jonah’s adoption.

No one should have to carry this burden alone and while I know no one reading this can take this difficult news away from Becky and her family, we can all pray for this family and let them know we are praying.

I know when I’ve been at the lowest of lows, simply knowing someone out there was praying to the Lord on my behalf was encouragement enough to keep prodding along.

Would you take a few minutes to read Becky’s story and just let her know you are praying? Spread the word too that this family needs prayer.

I just cannot imagine what must be going through her mind after all this time, all these obstacles and all these months of waiting.

Just lift her up to the Father with me, please.
