How do you process a “what if?”

What if they take him from us and he spends months wondering where we went, why we abandoned him, why he can’t see his brother or his puppies? What if he gets to stay and finally become legally a Buffington? What if he leaves and this trauma haunts him into his adult life? What if God turns it around and this story changes lives? What if God’s plan isn’t to turn it around how we would choose? What if I go over there and flip a table on God’s behalf?

But in a different sense, what if I praised God for how he rescued this baby from his traumatic start to life by giving him a victorious ending, what if I choose to lean into His promises, what if I choose to trust in Him, what if I sing my way out of the valley, praising His name because no matter what - He is good? 

What if I spend my time in prayer instead of worry? What if I ask others to join me so that the spiritual battle surrounding family-based orphan care has no chance of overcoming these precious souls?

You can’t process a “what if” because it isn’t yet a reality or a truth. But, God’s word IS a truth and that is what I choose to rest in. I ask you to join me in calling on His name to move mountains for our baby and every child in Honduras who deserves to keep their secure-attachment intact, when safe and possible. 

This is how I fight my battles. Let’s surround it by Him.
