Relentless

"We just have to be relentless" Tony says to me in reference to the tiring process of trying to get any response at all from Nancy, our new daughter. A head nod and "Mmm" is the only response we've seen in nearly two weeks. Relentless is actually one of favorite words in describing God's passion for each of us. He waits for us, he pursues us, he makes plans for us and then waits to see if we will listen and follow that plan. God is relentless in a good way.
Now, Tony and I have to be relentless in so many of the same ways. We keep trying day after day. We keep loving day after day. We keep hugging day after day. We keep pushing day after day. We keep hoping day after day. We keep praying day after day. This is what He has called us to...to love these orphans who have not known a laving parent. Even when it has no returns.
