Welcome.

I am very honored to know you guys and stand with you in this journey. I know you will stop at nothing to hold that child in your arms and to let them know that there is a place that they can call home filled with people who will love and protect them fiercely. Storms will come and go. People will and won't understand. But, Jesus is completely enraptured by your love for the child he has chosen for you. He is filled with joy because you obeyed. And He has and always will be your champion. I'd rather have him in my corner than any other person on this earth.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon your blog because, honestly, I was bored out of my gourd at work and was surfing facebook. I've now read every word and am just amazed at what you guys have been through with this process...some of which I knew about, and some I didn't. You guys are such amazing people and especially amazing parents and we are hoping and praying you get the chance to give those gifts to a tiny little someone in need.
