There are times in our lives where God's hand so clearly orchestrates events that we cannot help but fall onto our needs and praise him and thank him for allowing us to participate. Such is this time in our lives. After prayer, discussion, and more prayer, we have decided to become the adoptive parents of a Haitian orphan. Any of you who have known us well over the years will, rightfully, be shocked by this news. You have heard us say our quiver was full, you have heard that we are done having children. You have heard us say that we are content and done.
Well, now we are hearing God as he says,
"I have given you much."
"There is room in your van, your home, and your hearts for one more."
"There is someone in Haiti who needs a family to love them."
"There is a child who needs to hear of My Grace."
And so, with great faith in a savior who loves us and provides for us, and with many questions, we are pursuing, chasing after, and fighting for this little one who will one day call us family.
