Crystal blue, crystal blue Are the precious pools I gaze into To see reflected in their glance The soul of a child who longs to dance. And when I look I think I see Glistening hope looking back at me A spark of courage flashing bright Shining with crystal blazing light. But what’s behind those crystal eyes- Behind this heart that God made wise? I pray I might have strength to dare To hope to see Christ’s healing there! Crystal blue, crystal blue These eyes that hold me in their view What mysteries beyond them lie? For I have never seen them cry. They speak to me of bravery And compassion rises up in me They seem to seek to trust e’re long To find a refuge and a home. Crystal blue, crystal clue Eyes of this child show me what is true So the lines of your Spirit we can read And we can learn to meet your need. Anthony Foster June 15, 2011

I have just been perusing an old blog written by an amazing family that was used of God to protect and guard our daughter when she was at a critical point on her journey to our forever family. They could not legally mention her name, but the Lord led me to their site anyway. I don't know if they will ever know the miraculous story of our daughter and how it got so much worse before it got so much better. I do know that Jesus knows and knows perfectly how many prayers were instigated during this long process and how perfectly He had it all planned, firstly to His Glory and secondly for our good both individually and as a forever family.It amazes me that as they were praying on their blog for our daughter, I can now document the steps that God was moving us through as we were navigating the "system" ourselves in pursuit of adoption as an "adopt only" family. And it turns me to jelly. I am undone.
