Journey!

I have never been one to write eloquent words. For two weeks I have been writing this post in my head. I am pouring prayers into a dream.

In my Bible, etched in pen, is this date. 10/10/11. "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." James 1:27

You may wonder where I am going with this, some may have already caught on:) That verse to many, may seem cliche in regards to adoption. But it is God's word, alive in us! At this point we feel deeply that our family is not complete. Adoption has been tugging at my heart for some time now. I am blessed to have a husband, that is willing to surrender this dream to God, and see what unfolds. It would be a celebration of life, a home, a family knit together by following God's call. It's a mighty trusting in God.

 My husband and I were talking, and he said "What if we trusted God to provide, walking in obedience." My heart starts to palpitate at the very thought. I become so discouraged. I am weak in my trust of how big my God really is. Although, God does not promise that this road will be an easy up hill climb. It's a hill with great high's and great low's. This adoption would also mean, making some sacrifices for our current family and household. In that as well, we surrender and ask for God's will. We know he is faithful and good!!

 Cheers to this adoption journey! We would love your prayers, as we continue to pursue this:)
