And Away We Go!
We have been told many times that we should be writing down our experience so this will be our attempt at sharing our story with our family, friends, and new friends that we will make through our journey. It's been amazing how the Lord has moved since my wife and I have come into agreement. She has been ready to adopt for a while now but, not me, I can really overthink things sometimes. Another way of putting it is I can be quite stubborn. I keep comparing it to being in a swift moving creek where in the past I was walking with the current but still had my feet under me and resisting just enough to keep it at my pace. I have been resistant for many reasons, mostly selfish if I can be completely honest with you. Do we have room? Do we have enough money? Will it steal from my kids? Then the Lord began to show me that anything we can give these children will be much appreciated. He began to tell me to lift my feet and just allow His current to take me in the direction of His choosing. So here I go raising my feet to flow in his current, allowing him to direct my path! We will be updating as we go, so hopefully when this is all done we will have a written record of yet another blessing that the Lord has ushered into our lives. In upcoming posts I intend to bring you all up to speed with a day by day, blow by blow account. I'm so excited to share the amazing doors that have been opened as well as those that have yet to be seen. God is good.....all the time!

Your decision does seem remarkable in my eyes. I dont have a clue how an adoption process works. Do you have choices or are they made for you? Sex, Gender, Race . Best wishes to you
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are following what the lord has led you to do. I used to be one who didn't care about what happened to anyone as long as it didn't affect me. I did find the lord and was tested when I lost a son on Oct 10th 2000. I never would have made it through it but I have never ask why or blamed the lord for taking him from me because that was His will and who am I to ask Him "What was he thinking." But through the loss of my son I have found out my mission. I now ride for "Bikers Against Child Abuse" (BACA). I am a protecter of children because no child deserves to live in fear. I am glad you have chose to take on this task because if I know the John I knew in school he has a heart of gold and will be an awesome father to your new child.
