Despite all the crazy things going on with this adoption, we are encouraged by the Lords care and blessing on our life. The Lord will provide all that we need for this adoption and for all that is breaking and falling apart around us. Today we purchased a new lawn tractor (ours had black smoke billowing out of it on Sunday- dead), a new stove, and had our sewer sucked out in hopes of getting rid of the sewer smell in our bathroom. Now, is this not a good day or what?
Someday when the kids are in their teens, I will bring out this journal and share all the "attacks" we endured just to get our babies home.
If you are reading this, we urge you to pray how you can be a part of an orphans life. We would love for you to adopt a child, but if that is not where the Lord has you, there are many other ways. You can pray for an orphan, you can financially support an orphan thru sponsorships (World Vision), go on a mission trip, or help a family that is adopting. The Bible makes it clear in James 1:27 "look after the orphans". What are you going to do about it?
