Destined for His Glory

Here are a few pictures of me in Romania. My time in Bucharest Romania was an amazing time one in which I will cherish for the rest of my life. I was able to be reunited with my bioligical family and it was an amazing reunion. I have known all my life that I was loved and had a family in Romania who loved me immensly and gave me up for adopted because of their great love for me and I saw firsthand how much of a sacrifice it was to give me up because they love me immensely.

Nothing in this world is ever wasted especially when it comes to God and His plan for our lives. Although the times of brokeness and sorrow have felt to have been to of no end or purpose, under His hand they begin to have purpose. Every single broken dream that has been ressurected has been to bring His name glory. In the season where death and darkness surrounded, where the heavyness of sorrow dimmed the vison and perception of each day His hand was ever near, His eyes watching and intensely aware of the pain His child was enduring. Tears streamed down His face as the world treated his child(ren) with torment and suffering and they grew weary under its burdensome pressure.
