Soundtrack for our Adoption 'Journey'

There were times during the years of waiting when our faith was tested. Sometimes little moments of blessing would come to us. One such moment came in the very unlikely form of the theme song ("Faith of the Heart") to the Star Trek movie. We listened to the words as we sat in the cinema and were struck by their poignancy. This link is to a version sung by Russell Watson.

Other songs that meant a lot to us were:

"While I'm Waiting" by John Waller. This link is to a YouTube clip version of the song with lyrics. The song was used in the soundtrack of the movie "Fireproof". The wait was difficult and at times we found ourselves putting our life on hold and letting moments of blessing and opportunities to praise and serve our God pass us by. This song helped to give us focus.

"He is With You" by Mandissa. We heard this song in South Tenerife Christian Fellowship Church when we were on holiday in 2008. The lyrics gave us words of encouragement, no matter what situation we find ourselves in, God is always there working out His perfect plan. This is a link to the song.
 
Another wonderful song that tells of an experience that we will soon live out is "So Far to Find You" by Casting Crowns. The song was written by Mark Hall and Steven Curtis Chapman, both the Hall family and the Curtis Chapman family have adopted precious little girls from China. Mark and Melanie Hall's adoption story and inspiration behind the song is found at this link.  The song with lyrics are available at this link.

  1. Beautiful songs. Enjoy them before Gabriella's choice prevails! The Peppa Pig and Doc McStuffins theme tunes are not as easy listening! Praying for you all. Karen x
