Of course adoption is never far from my mind or heart, but I am getting the nudge to move along with and live in what God has in store!
What does that mean? I am not sure, that is the fun and crazy part of adoption though. I do know the only thing standing in the way is funding, and that is always the part that brings a lot of anxiety and prayer. God has it and we are resting in that.
So the next request is prayer. We have a meeting next week that could quite possibly give us the jump start we need to get started with our consultant. We will then be able to create our profile book and then when more funding is in place start showing to precious birth families.
This is all so exciting and scary. Saying yes to God is so hard and amazing at the same time. To be honest I could sit here and tell you that I really don't need more children to take care of, and more work added to my day, and I am scared I can't do it, but really this is so MINIMAL to the feeling God has put in my heart to step into his plan to bless a child or 2 with His Love and a family. Life is precious and too many lives are being snuffed out by abortion, disease, starvation, and children growing up alone. Giving up my wants and giving more than I think I can is the least I can do for God.
CHILDREN ARE A CAUSE WORTH DEFENDING! Amen?
Lastly, I would like to just ask for ideas for fundraisers? I am fresh out. So if you have some great ones, please pass along!
Most important, please keep praying for our family, our precious baby or babies to be and their birth families. Prayer and Hope and Scripture are definitely what we need most.
