Our babies have footprints
That is part of God's design
Unique and individual
Created for this time
Mountains, hills, and valleys
And oceans span our way
Though many steps are between us
God will bring you home to stay
Our babies have footprints
God's plan will lead them home
And one day you'll be in our arms
A gift, children, our very own

As I sat in a homegoing ceremony today, the Bishop asked the grand children and the great grand children of the deceased to stand. I sat in amazement of the lineage that was shown and how God had remained faithful throughout every generation of their family. My thoughts began to wander to our journey that we are taking to bring home our children.
As more and more people are hearing about our new conquest, some seem to be excited, others anxious with many questions and of course some are doubtful. After talking to someone, I can tell what category they fall in a matter of seconds. What I have came to realize is that not everyone can understand or has a heart to adopt. That is why God only calls certain people to take on this journey.
I thought about the individuals who have unknowingly made it to the last category....the doubting category. It is kind of like "Doubting Thomas" as some would call him. Thomas doubted the disciples and what they had told him and he requested that he see the testimony for his self. It was only then that Thomas believed. These same people are faced with the "Doubting Thomas" scenario. It almost seems like they don't believe until our babies are home safe in our arms.
I sometimes get angry when I think about it because I feel like they are challenging what God has already said He would do. But then I realize it is not for me to justify what He has says. He is God and that says enough. He is able to do whatever He chooses when He chooses to move. God is tight like that. So I have made it up in my mind to shut the door to unbelief. After all it is the opposite of faith.
