When God knocked at our door…

This is what I recently wrote in my jeornal: (Sorry for all the mistakes) 

When God knocked at our door….

It was an usual day. We woke up, dressed, ate, prayed and went to work. Nothing was special about it but only until someone knocked at our door. “Who could it be?” – I thought, hurrying to open it. I could not believe my own eyes. Right there, in front of me, Jesus was standing. I started to nervous. I wanted to offer Him something but I was motionless. Finally He smiled and asked: “May I come in?” “Of course, please, come in and have some tea with us.” “Thank you, that’s very nice of you but I need a place to  stay not only for a visit…” “ Do you mean, stay with us forever?   Of course Jesus we would love to keep You but we are not ready yet. Look,  your room is not ready yet, it still needs lots of work, and right now we are very busy and cannot give you as much of attention as you need…It’s not like we don’t want you to stay with us, we do, we always wanted. We even talked about it but it’s not the right time for us yet, do you understand? “Yes I do, but it is not want I am asking you for. All I really need is a heart that can love, a place that can be my home and someone I can call Mommy and Daddy. 

Only than I saw that the person that was standing in front of me was not Jesus anymore but an eight year old boy whose eyes told the whole story, a story that was too much to bear.

He looked into my eyes while waiting for the answer… and than he was ready to leave.

But could I let him go? Go where? There was nobody he could go to. He had already waited for nearly 5 years without an answer….

No, we could not let him go. He belongs here. Yes, maybe we don’t have a perfect place but we have a loving place. We are not perfect parents but we are willing to change. We have fears about the future but we know the One Who holds it.

So, we said yes to this sweet little boy, whose name is Tyomka and soon (we hope the documents will be ready soon) he will come home to live with us. Timka is very excited and prays for his new brother every day.
